The fall officially begins tomorrow and as much as I've been complaining about the cool weather that fell upon us on Labour Day, I secretly love it. The fall means apples, boots, cozy sweaters, and best of all, using wool again! Welcome back wool, oh how I've missed you. This baby sweater is for a co-worker who is due in October. She and her husband have chosen not to find out the sex of the baby, hence the neutral colour. It was a quick knit, as most baby items are.
This is the start of a complicated cowl neck for this sweater. I'm still not sure if I got the pattern correct but this is what I translated it to be. The cable pattern is turning out to be quite fun to knit once I somewhat figured it out and just gave into the pattern. You know what I'm talking about.
Here is a tiny apple pie. I used a muffin pan to make up a few of these. The apples used in the filling are called SweeTango. It's a "new" apple that was developed by the University of Minnesota. They were really tasty but for some reason I still feel weirded out that there is an apple breeding program at the U where all they do is breed new apples. I suppose that everything we eat these days has been genetically modified in one way or another. On that note, I'm going to find a snack before bed. G'nite!

T - mini apple pies? Genius!! Especially for us singles that like the baked goods but don't want to eat it for a week.
Looking forward to seeing your sweeter.
That baby sweater is ADORABLE! I love baby clothing, perhaps because I'm pregnant... I just can't believe there will be a tiny being that fits into it all!
Love,
A
