Sweaters for Two Birthday Girls

I while back I decided that I would knit Lily and I sweaters for our Birthdays.  I already had knit myself the February Lady Sweater and I had knit her the Tiny Tea Leaves, so I thought what a better gift to each other if I knit the smaller and bigger versions of each sweater.  We would have two sets of matching sweaters.  She is after all my only girl and I have to make the most of this!  

 For Lily I knitted the Baby Sweater on Two Needles by Elizabeth Zimmerman.  It was the first time I had knitted a EZ pattern and it was amazing!  I did it with Koigu Kertsi and the yarn was beautiful to work with.  

 Here is a picture of my February Lady Sweater

 For myself I knitted the Tea Leaves Cardigan published in Madelinetosh and I used the Malabrigo Merino Worsted. All I can say is that this yarn is so amazing.  It feels great, it knits up fast and easy and the structure and stretch are both equal.  I have not taken it off since I finished it on Saturday.  

 The pattern has this great texture around the yoke and the makes the whole thing.  

Here is Lily's Tiny Tea Leaves that I knitted for her at Christmas.  Since then I have pulled in the neck line more and changed the buttons to square black ones, oh and she has grown a lot and it fits her much better.

We are two girls ready for the spring weather. 

With those sweaters done it is now on the next project waiting for me in the project bag.
