Sweet knit - finished!

What a sweet knit! I barely began it before this little cardy was done. It positively whipped off the needles and two seams, a lovely big button, and two snaps later, it was finished! 
I took an executive decision, and didn't block it. This yarn isn't really suitable for blocking and it already looked perfect, all fluffed up like that.

Nelly loves it. Well, who wouldn't?

It's like candy floss. And, it matches her little stove.

From a mummy's point of view, it's a perfect light layer and is a lovely shape at the front and over the sleeves.
 But, it falls forward, making it rise up slightly at the back. I think it would benefit from a bit of shaping along the bottom of the back to compensate -
just to be a fusspot ;)

Overall, it's quick and it's sweet and it does the trick. And, Zoë has decided she wants one too. But not in pink. 

And, by the way - If you are tempted to knit short rows, I've found the most perfect Veera shawl. Threepumpkinslittle has made a fabulous Color Affection. Short row after short row in the most beautiful colours. So off you go, check it out!
