I hope you’re not tired of ganseys and baby knitting because I’ve just finished two projects using Susan’s new gansey hat and sweater patterns.<\/p>\n

One of my nieces had a baby girl last February.\u00a0 I started knitting a dress for her in the winter but didn’t like the yarn and so I put it aside.\u00a0 I still needed to knit something for her and\u00a0the Baby Gansey sweater<\/a>\u00a0designed by Susan was perfect.<\/p>\n

I used BeWoolen’s Merino DK in the Fate color way — a light pink with gray undertones.\u00a0 For the trim, I used Mrs. Moon’s Plump DK in Earl Grey (leftover in my stash).\u00a0 I wanted it to be feminine but not overly girly.\u00a0 Success!\u00a0 I’ve decided it has a sophisticated Chanel vibe — don’t disabuse me!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I added a bead to each button.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s not a challenging<\/em> knit, but you do need to pay attention to the pattern.\u00a0 The directions themselves are very clear.<\/p>\n

Next up, I wanted to knit a hat for a friend’s new grandson.\u00a0 By this time, Susan had finished her Gansey Hat for Everyone<\/a>\u00a0pattern.\u00a0 I used the same gray yarn from my stash that I’d used for the sweater trim.\u00a0 There’s a choice in her pattern of 3 gauges and 8 sizes.\u00a0 The baby is only two months old, but I decided to go for the 6-12 month size in the 5 stitches to the inch gauge.\u00a0 The red trim is some Neighborhood Fibre Worsted in the Cooper Circle color that I stole from my stash.<\/p>\n

I added an extra pop of color between the patterning and the stockinette.\u00a0 To do that, I knit a row in the red and then purled a row.\u00a0 (If you start by purling, you’ll get bumps of the first color which will spoil the look somewhat.)\u00a0 I used the method recommended by Susan in the pattern for eliminating the jog when using a color — as you can see from the photo of the back, it worked perfectly.<\/p>\n

Both presents are winging their way to the recipients as we speak. Whew!<\/p>\n
