Greetings from the missing Rainey Sisters! We are here. We are alive. We are knitting.
I did attend the state fair this year and did enter some knitting. It was not the best year I’ve ever had. I did win a few ribbons, one of which was blue. It was for this little sweater I made for a good friend who is also a knitter. It had to be special and I wanted a blue ribbon on it to attach to the gift.
The pattern is called Alouette, designed by Lisa Chemery. She also designed Entrechat, my favorite sweater for baby girls and Elevenses, my favorite sweater for baby boys. I decided I needed to jazz this up if I wanted the blue ribbon, so I added the embroidered roses. I was very pleased to get the blue!
Congratulations, this is beautiful! I’m making Elevenses for a great nephew who is coming soon. The little pockets (on Elevenses) which are not necessary to the future wearer are making me so happy.

I loved seeing that sweater. So sweet. Wish I could do embroidery, but I have tried and my attempts were an absolute fail. It adds so much to knitting when done well – as in your case.
