"Odyssey" Sets are Finished!

Pattern: Reynolds "Odyssey" #82225 Yarn: Brooks Farm "Duet" Needle Size: 4 & 6

The Odyssey Baby Sweater sets are finished! My goal was to finish them within the first week after Christmas. These are a gift for a co-worker who had a set of twins - - a boy and a girl. I decided not to make the socks because I have to complete one more gift for another co-worker, also with a twins! Yes, that gift set will be the puppy-eared Dalegarn scarf and a pink chevron scarf with pom-poms. The Dalegarn scarf is finished, with only the ears to be sewn on, and I started the pink scarf last night.

I was successful in grafting a new sleeve edge to the existing sleeve that had an error. I cut and frogged the ruffled edge, put the live stitches on a needle and grafted the new sleeve edge to it. It was so easy and saved me a lot of time. Oh, check out the buttons on the girl sweater - - I made them! I couldn't find any that matched the colors in this yarn, so I referred to a button pattern leaflet that I had, and decided to crochet them. (ch 14, turn and sc in each chain. End. Tie piece in a knot and sew ends to back of knot.) They look great with the bobble theme in the pattern. Yes, I am pleased with the outcome of these sweaters and I loved working with this yarn.
