This is another baby pullover from the Knitting Pure and Simple pattern, the yarn is Lion Brand Pound of Love in lavender. I have made 2 of the 6 month size so far, and would like to make an 18 month size for my grandson in a denim colored yarn soon.
Had to buy another size 9 circular needle to make the sweater, and ended up with this pair. My favorite needles are wooden circulars and was upset to find that our cat Jimi ( my weaving buddy) had chewed up the one needed for this sweater. Well, as long as I needed a new one, might as well look for one with sharper tips, as the sleeve increases were very difficult to do with the bamboo ones due to being so blunt. These seemed to have the sharpest points so that was why I bought them, but discovered that the problem of stitches getting caught on the needle where it's connected to the cord wasn't an issue. Am not sure if you can see it in the photo, but they taper the needles, and the cord connection is very smooth. They are more slippery than wood, which is still an issue, but I would buy more of these, and they are less expensive, also.
