Add another one to the Sureya stack

Here is yet another example of what happens when I get bored with a pattern- it becomes something different ENTIRELY! I started out making the adorable Baby Onesie, got tired of stockinette stitch just past the armpits, decided to add a couple of stitches and turn it into a pullover version of the Helena Baby Cardigan. I think it was a successful morph, just need to add some buttons or snaps to close the neckline. The colors of the sweater are closest to the pictures without the doll, but a post wouldn't be complete without an opportunity to show Jenn my ugly doll again. I used a little more than one 50 gram skein of Inti Alpaca Alpaca Soft, the super luxurious stuff I picked up in Miraflores on my last trip to Peru.
As soon as the sweater was done I cast on for some toe up socks for Sureya using the leftover Maile sweater yarn...I never finish the socks that I start in a small amount of time, so we'll see how this goes. I am leaving bright and early tomorrow morning to a three day conference in Portland, so hopefully I will have time to get the socks, and maybe another project done.

Seriously now your doll is looking like Chuckie -- very angry and such with the clenched fist and the open mouth.

But the sweater she is wearing is gorgeous. Now if I can only finish what I started for Sureya...

You know Jenn, its only a matter of weeks before there is an actual baby filling those clothes-and then I will send the lovely baby on to you! maybe I will dye her hair red first, add some freckles....
