Sorry that I have not posted a lot lately, but it's been a busy three or four months here. I did, however, manage to work in some knitting. My goal was to make my great niece, Phoebe, a sweater/coat. I chose the sweater/coat in the book
Phoebe's Sweater. What else could I make for a great-niece with the same name as the book.
Here are some pictures of the sweater/coat in the blocking stage. It was gifted to Phoebe for Christmas.
Thanks to my nephew for helping with the pictures. I had to select a place to block the sweater/coat and my coffee table, with some improvised blocking materials, helped. Here are more pictures.
And another picture including the buttons and hood:
Another picture of a close-up of the hood and sleeve. Almost can see stitch definition:

AND, FINALLY, PHOEBE SPORTING HER CHRISTMAS SWEATER/COAT FROM AUNT SNOWBIRD:
I made this a size 6 so she would have a couple of good years of use. Phoebe is four and 1/2 years old.
I hope Phoebe enjoys the sweater/coat and her book.
LOVE,
AUNT SNOWBIRD
