Spring sweater success!
We decided to photograph not in the town of Calistoga this time, but again at the castle.
Late morning brought very bright sun and was very warm after weeks of cool rainy days.
Oh, and great news is that my knitted tees seem to fit my nieces with absolute perfection!
This year’s Spring Tee was not a new design, but a fun redesign for ‘four seasons of necklines’ option for my Calidez pullover pattern. Both made in size 32 with short sleeve option, alternate style of yoke decrease, 2×2 rib, and knit with worsted-weight ( Malabrigo Rios) , using the gauge substitution chart included in the pattern. I must say, I rather impressed myself once I saw the short-row low swooping necks become three dimensional!
Miss Thirteen has gained inches in height still again, and now there’s no denying she is taller than Miss Sixteen.
All in all, a perfect day for ‘capturing of photographical images’ with some really nice knitwear, made with custom favorite colors for my two wonderful nieces…
Time goes swiftly, and I’ll enjoy a short rest before coming up with plans for the next equinox sweater~~ but folks, this is just as good as it gets!
