the first sweater

So I tried my first garment and loved it. I thought I would start with something small, so of course a sweater for Izzy came to mind. I also wanted to do something classic... so cabling was in order. It was easier than I thought. After knitting turtles, and chipmunks, the shaping was a breeze. I spent a fair amount of time at la knitterie parisienne on Saturday getting some help from edith on putting the thing together. I finished it off with a few vintage woven leather buttons. I made a 18-24 months size thinking it would take me a long time, so little Isaac has some growing room.
My current endeavor, a little sweater/jacket for me!
