Grape Leaves
You can tell that school is over and I’m on vacation because I’ve started knitting again!
I’ve been wanting to make Peapod for ages, but never had the time or the right yarn coinciding with the appearance of a baby in my extended family/friends circle. I went through my yarn to find projects for the trip to France, and I found some Knit Picks Merino Style that Dell gave me a long time ago. It’s such a pretty purple, but it definitely makes my Peapod a girly Peapod. I don’t really have a baby girl coming to our lives any time soon, but I might as well plan ahead. The next little girl will be lucky enough to get something BEFORE she’s too old for what I knit. (I hope.)
Anyway, the project works up really fast (this is just since Thursday, and only done a bit at a time) and it’s very easy to follow so far. I had to give myself a quick refresher on reading charts, but this is really simple as far as charts go. The yarn is nice to work with too; I just hope that blocking the sweater will make the leaf lace pattern stand out more.

You’ve done a lot! Maybe you can sell it on Etsy if you don’t have anyone to wear it. Dress up Bonny in the sweater, take a photo, and VOILA!
I like the purple actually. Merino wool makes great clothing too, I like it, thanks!
