A former student from my office just had her long-awaited baby, a little girl named Zélia. I was extremely superstitious ( I always am when it comes to babies), so I waited until she was born, but finally I am starting this..
The Boatneck Sweater from Susan Anderson's Itty Bitty Nursery
It is in Blue Sky Alpaca, sport weight. I ordered it from Purl on Tuesday at 8 pm, it was shipped out at 11 pm from California, and by Friday morning it had arrived at my door in brooklyn, neatly tucked in a packing box, and lovingly and tastefully wrapped in orange tissue paper, held together with a charming sticker. I am also going to knit up matching booties, so I ordered a Pom-pon maker kit - I can't reisist buying some unneccesary notion when I order from Purl, what's $7.50 for some ingeniously designed plastic when you're spending untold dollars in yarn? Anyway, I was so happy to see Pom-pon spelled correctly on the package, even though Purl persists in spelling is as Pom-pom on their website. Oh well.
