No frogging for Tadpole
I decided that before I even seriously considered frogging, I should make sure the sweater was as small as I thought it was. I tried it on Tadpole.

"Ma! The least you could do is finish knitting it first!"
It's plenty big. So no frogging. I'll just finish it quickly and try to take advantage of it on cool evenings and hopefully it will last her into the fall. Tadpole is a peanut, so I'm not so worried.

Tadpole looks so adorable in this sweater. The color combination is very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the cute baby in the finished sweater some day.

Wow! She is adorable. Makes me feel all maternalish.... ;0) And the sweater looks fabulous. I really do like the shade of green with that red. Lovely.

She has the sweetest little face.

hey kate,
just wanted to say i soooo heart the grow-as-you-go expandable maternity sweater in the summer IK. the ribbing is flattering and the buttons give it a tunic-effect flair that says, "i'm pregnant, but i haven't lost my style, bay-bee!" yet another clever one - love it!
xoxo

Both are gorgeous! =)
Isn't the Village Yarn Shop amazing? The reason my friend and I like it is the way you feel like you discover it every time you shop there. And the selection!

Both are gorgeous! What a great photo.

What a fantastic photograph. The sweater is beautiful. I just found your blog and I'll be checking back often.

Yup! A gorgeous little treasure - hmm, incorporate this now, classic shot of Tadpole into the blog?

I was hoping for another baby shot - your tadpole is absolutely lovely. And the sweater is nothing to scoff at either. Good work (both on the baby making and the knitting)!

I know about a thousand people have already said this, but she looks just like you! She's gorgeous - and so is the sweater.
Posted by: Elizabeth at May 1, 2006 10:45 AM
Tadpole will be beautiful in that sweater, she already is, in fact. Glad you decided not rip it out- I really like it! How lucky she is to have such a talented mommy.

just gorgeous - and so is the knitting!

Cute sweater. Cute baby. But I really dropped by to see where you thought were the best knit spots in Paris. I'll be there in couple of weeks for a short visit. I've been to Paris before but it you have any shops or things you would recommend that would be great.
And if you want to meet up for a cup of coffee -- or want me to bring over some yarn for you let me know.

What a great shot! She is a remarkably beautiful child. I want to squeeze her (but then i'd probably make her cry again). Have a lovely weekend!
Posted by: regina at April 28, 2006 09:45 AM
Looks just right. Both kid and sweater. Wicked snuggly :-)
Posted by: Lee Ann at April 28, 2006 09:25 AM
Don't change a thing. (well, you can finish the lovely sweater -- the green is a great touch)

Kate,
I'm speechless...(not really). Tadpole and her mom's knitting are beautiful!!!
Posted by: Fredda at April 27, 2006 10:18 PM
My first thought was "What beautiful eyes" She is so precious. Love the way she handles a needle. mmmm maybe she WILL finish it for you.
Posted by: emmy at April 27, 2006 09:34 PM
My goodness, doesn't she have beautiful eyes - those eyelashes are to die for. And the knitting needle in the hand is too cute.
Posted by: Kirsty at April 27, 2006 09:15 PM
Absolutely beautiful!
Posted by: del at April 27, 2006 08:20 PM
She is just perfect. What a little munchkin, she looks like she is trying to learn to knit...
Posted by: Mia at April 27, 2006 08:18 PM
She is just perfect! What a munchkin, she looks almost ready to learn to know...
Posted by: Mia at April 27, 2006 08:17 PM
Kate! She's just so very gorgous, what a beautiful baby you have. Makes you want to squeeze her :)
Posted by: Rebecca at April 27, 2006 07:47 PM
Has there EVER been such a pretty baby?!
Posted by: Norma at April 27, 2006 07:28 PM
Oh goodie. I was hoping you'd keep it. Tadpole is adorable.
Posted by: Jenny at April 27, 2006 07:11 PM
Jeeez she is cute. What a great picture. She's basically a little you. I really love the sweater as well, and it looks like it might even make it to the fall?
Posted by: Julia at April 27, 2006 07:09 PM
Kate... she is gorgeous. Well they both are but Tadpole really does take the cake :)
and as you can see she is trying to figure out hw to make the needles work... so she must be your child!

Trop mignon la photo!
Posted by: Julia at April 27, 2006 04:28 PM
Now that would be pretty darn awesome if she learned to finish her own sweaters!!!
Posted by: Rae at April 27, 2006 04:24 PM

Posted by: jody at April 27, 2006 04:24 PM
What an adorable picture, and a beautiful baby!
Posted by: Lisa at April 27, 2006 03:58 PM
She melts my heart. Start her young, that's right! Can't you see she's digging the needles already. ;)
Posted by: ~Jo~ at April 27, 2006 03:41 PM
Oh my gosh how completely precious!! Too sweet. :)
Posted by: Laura at April 27, 2006 02:57 PM
Tadpole is awfully handy with a knitting needle it seems...Mama's little girl!

That is so cute! Tadpole is definitly a little peanut. Love the sweater.
Posted by: Mary-Heather at April 27, 2006 02:10 PM
Tadpole is cute! I have a peanut child too -- I'm hoping that means the Anouk I'm working on will last that much longer!
