A Wee Knitting Project

I just recently completed a sweet little knitting project

for a darling little new, baby boy named Anthony.

Anthony is the first grandchild of

my dear friend Marty.

I first met Marty in a pastry class

when her twins,

Matthew and Susie were infants.

(Susie is Baby Anthony's Mommy.)

It was one of those connections where we both

felt as if we'd known each other all our lives

after our first meeting.

Mark, Marty's husband is

my daughter Kate's godfather.

Although Marty and her family now live far away

and we don't visit often,

we still maintain

a solid connection.

I've had this sock yarn in my stash

for quite a while, always planning

to someday knit a baby sweater with it.

 So, when Marty told me Susie was expecting

I knew the time had come.

The sweater is knit from sleeve to sleeve.

Because the yarn is "space dyed"

the color-change pattern evolves

simply by knitting.

Clever, huh?

I had some yarn left after finishing the sweater.

A little matching hat was needed.

Then, a little bunny that was going along

needed to coordinate,

so he got a matching scarf too!

A big congratulations to

Baby Anthony's parents, Susan and Anthony

and

Grandparents, Mark and Marty.

(Marty...come visit soon!)
