Out of Africa sweater

Life thas been so crazy lately. Most of my spare time I have spent on the computer working on Christmas or spent knitting for Christmas. I finally finished my nephew's sweater. His church pants are black.

I have never done a yoke on a sweater, and so I thought that I would try it. In fact when I started it, I had every intention of making it a crewneck. Sometimes projects have a life of their own. I also had originally planned on having the gray as the bottom of the sweater, and the yoke varigated. When I grabbed the yarn in the store I was in a hurry and grabbed the wrong amounts of each one. Oh well! The yarn definately pooled, but I kind of like the effect. Although the white one the one sleeve stands out. The basic sweater is stockinette. When I got to the yoke I did it in a seed stitch. I like the texture. I think it adds a bit of something special. I hope he likes it.
In the meantime I am working on his sister's sweater. I am going to call it Little Butterflies. I have the back and part of one front done. I would have two fronts done, but realized last night that I had forgotten to change to the larger needles after the ribbing, and so I had to take it all the way down. What a newbie mistake! It is what you get when you knit and watch good TV shows I guess. LOL I am also going to put a collar on hers. I think I will do a round. Depends on the knitting muse I guess.
