Reworked Maternity Sweater

Last summer I made my first (and only) maternity sweater.  Now that Xena's nearly 9 months old, thankfully I've lost most of my baby weight and I decided to rework the sweater into a slimmer fitting fashion.


I took in the sides, arms and neck and created a fitted waistline.  Here's our little family standing on the corner near our apartment.  




The most time consuming part of this project was "tinking" all of the reduction stitches; because the baby alpaca fibers are so fine.  I am so pleased with the results and I'm already planning to make a couple more sweaters in the same pattern in some other colorways from the Acorn Alpaca Ranch that my extremely thoughtful in-laws got me for X-Mas last year.
