Thank you for another beautiful pattern Marianna it's so cute. :) xx
ReplyDeleteThese are sweet! You are very generous to provide the pattern. I have saved it as I l9ove to knit baby things to have on hand for gifts.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask, could I continue to knit a bit further to do a longer sleeve?
ReplyDeleteThank you marianna i knit for premmies at a hospital in Perth WA
ReplyDeleteI am knitting for charity and this is another beautiful pattern. Thanks so much for sharing your skill, Marianna x
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern - I'm currently "re-teaching" myself to knit and this was a perfect way to practice kfb, putting stitches on holders for later, buttonholes and the yo's needed throughout. Thank you!! I linked my project up to your pattern on Ravelry - http://www.ravelry.com/projects/playingwithfiber/little-jay---premature-baby-cardigans
ReplyDeleteNow to decide which one of your other patterns I'm going to try next. :)
I would love to do this pattern, but am a real beginner! It would be helpful if there was a "legend". For instance I don't know what kfb, S1 or psso means. Anyone please explain and I'll google the technique. Please and thank you :)
ReplyDeleteSusan: when in doubt GOOGLE IT! and should google ever fail to explain what you need to know, youtube.com search it. For example, S1 or psso search and a video showing you what you do will come up. Once upon a time we all were where you are now. Stick with it, you'll master all these "hieroglyphics" before long. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteThe Marianna's sweater was my first baby sweater. There are so many ways to make this pattern unique with just simple changes, that even beginners can make this over and over. It's popular with experienced knitters because it's so darn cute, and they can just whip them out in a day.
ReplyDeleteMy question, will the large preemie, fit an average newborn, using a larger needle, or worsted yarn?? If not, are the other sizes on your "to do" list? I'm sure you are getting requests from us beginners that can't yet adjust the pattern themselves. Your patterns really are exceptionally cute. Thanks Tancie
Thank you for your lovely comments Tancie - there is a newborn size 0 -3 months with short or long sleeves. The link is ~ http://mariannaslazydaisydays.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/jay-baby-cardigan.html
DeleteHappy knitting ;) M
Thanks for your prompt reply ! Keep up the great designs. The next generation of knitters will still be using them. Thanks. Tancie
DeleteHi there, luv this pattern. as a beginner found it very easy to complete. Is there perhaps a bootee pattern to match the cardigan & cap??
ReplyDeleteThank you.these patterns are lovely cant wait to get started
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns, have been knitting them for a while now, I make them different to suit the personal choice of the mother, I have made them into sets adding bonnets/beanies and booties. I have adjusted the patterns to suit larger sizes. Up to size 1 at them moment, not sure I could make them larger yet. So keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteLove all your patterns thankyou. Is there away you have a book to purchase.as I only have a cell phone.
