Gemma's Woodland Sweater

Omigosh, I am so in love with this little sweater!  I knit it to be a Christmas present for Gemma, but I won't be able to wait, and will put it on her as soon as there is a chill in the air.


I knit it using this wonderful pattern and KnitPicks' Wool of the Andes in the Forest Heather colorway.   Then I needle-felted the toadstools attached them to the sweater after blocking it.  My Ravelry notes are here.  I'm really pleased!

    Beautiful! You should sell some of your work! I'd consider buying such a beautiful sweater from you if you are ever interested. I wish I was so handy! What a blessing to your family. Peace

    I never thought to needle felt the design on my knitting. Good call because my knitting with multiple colors is hideous but this would solve the problem...at least on some projects.

    How did I miss seeing this precious little sweater? Thank you so much for telling me about it. I have a tutorial for how to make a gnome hat at Acorn Pies, if you want! Guess what! I saw the gnome again! love, Beth
