Tulip Baby Sweaters

I follow Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's blog, and I was recently blown away by all the adorable baby knits that she was making in a relatively short period of time (1 day). So, I jumped on the bandwagon, and I've been knitting a lot of the patterns she has been showcasing, including the Tulip Baby Cardigan.

Here's the first one (sized 6-9 mos):

This sweater was made using Dream in Color Classy - my favorite yarn. (Wish it wasn't so expensive!)

Here's the second one (sized 6-9 mos):

This sweater was made using some random skeins of Knit Picks Swish Worsted I had lying around -- and I was very dubious about the color combination, but, they were lying around, so I used them :). I think it turned out pretty well.
