I realized that I haven’t blogged about this project yet… I think this was actually the very last piece that I completed in Japan. It’s kind of strange for me to be looking at these pictures now – I really liked using those familiar blue walls as a backdrop – but it’s time to catch-up on all my blogging!

Right before I left Japan, a teacher I was very close to went on maternity leave. As a farewell gift, I made her this little baby sweater. This was yet another very helpful and easy to follow pattern that I found on http://www.purlbee.com (you can see it here!). This was actually my first time to knit a baby garment, so I really appreciated the detailed pattern.

While the actual brand of yarn I used is long-forgotten, I do remember that it was knit with little skeins of organic cotton yarn (Japanese, of course).

I’m missing Japan a lot these days, but being knee-deep in Christmas knitting certainly helps me to take my mind off of it! Expect many more posts in the coming weeks…
