My SSKAL 2014 Coda is on the blocking board and almost ready for some final finished pics, but in the meantime, I decided to cast on something for Z. I happened to have a few skeins of Cascade 220 superwash in the same color as my Coda so I decided I should make her a little fall garment. It’s called Like Sleeves for kids and I think it will be a lovely garment for transitioning as a fall, winter, and maybe even spring layer. I’m making the size 3-4, which might be a little big, but I have enough yarn for that size and it can work as an oversized tunic/dress for awhile. That’s my favorite part about knitted tunics and dresses.
I love this color, Summer Sky, and am thrilled to launch into another project with it. I hope to get Coda pics up in the next few days and shortly after that reveal the finished secret sweater design I’ve been working on for Matt. I feel a round of finished objects coming on.
Seed stitch! I love seed stitch. Such a great texture.
So exciting! I love that feeling of having a bunch of projects coming off the needles in tidy succession. You feel so productive, and then get the fun of casting on a bunch of new stuff 🙂
That little tunic will be so cute on Z — the longer she can wear it the better, I think. Especially since it will be a nice subtle match for your Coda.
Can’t wait to see the FOs!
This olive green yarn is beautiful. I’ll have to check out the blue one, too.

Like Sleeves is a great little sweater! I knitted it twice for my daughter when she was younger, and it was so much fun. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out. 🙂
