This is my all-time favorite gift to knit for a baby girl:
Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Practically Seamless Baby Sweater from Knitter’s Almanac. I’ve knit this pattern so many times, my copy of this book automatically falls open to it. It’s a classic that’s easy to knit with great results. I have notes written all over the page. I’ve also replaced the Gull Pattern with a Little Shells pattern. For the Little Shells, you knit the 1st row, purl the 2nd and 4th rows and here’s Row 3: K2 * yo, p1, p3tog, p1, yo, k2 – repeat from * across.
I knit this one up for Elann friend, Libby, who’s baby girl was born just last week. You can see a photo of her on the Elann chat page (scroll down and look on the left side). Karolyn Ann is a beautiful for a beautiful girl!
Libby is sure to love the sweater. It’s just beautiful!
And I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.
Many blessings!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! and that baby sweater is beeeyooooootiful!
ooooo what a beautiful baby sweater. Have you ever tried the baby surprise pattern? I’ve always wondered if it was worth seeking out.
The happiest of Thanksgivings to you and your family, including your extended family at the base.

Happy Turkey Day to you and those in your group. Please let them all know we appreciate the sacrifices made by those in the military and their families. Best wishes for safety.
I love that pattern and have knit it loads of times too ! Your latest is beautiful.
Have a great thanksgiving and enjoy your turkey. :0)
Beautiful sweater for a darling baby! I love EZ patterns (I have a Baby Surprise Sweater on the needles now) but I haven’t tried this one yet. Gee, am I busy now?
Beautiful sweater~ what a lucky baby.
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. Continued prayers for you and yours…
Beautiful sweater! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Hi Jean, the lacy pink cardigan looks great ! I love the design.
Happy Thanksgiving !

I found out the hard way that koolaid dyeing is not an exact science. But what I did discover is that the microwave method is much better (the color is more even) than the stove top.
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving…I’ll be cooking all day roasting a 21.5 lb turkey.
I tried sending this to your email but my email is acting funny. Love your sweater by the way.
Thanks for posting that picture, I’ve got that book but never realized how lovely the sweater was.
The sweater looks like heirloom material. It’s really beautiful.
