The surprise is over

The babies arrived a little early and I have no idea when I am going to get these to them.  So, I am going to post about them any way.

 I started off buying three skeins of wool-ease thinking they could share a contrast color.  It takes most of two skeins to do a sweater.  So take note, if you are like me, probably 320 to 350 yards of yarn.

 As usual, I had to undo a couple of rows there is something really enticing about forgetting to do an increase when working with garter stitch.

 Also, I played with using parts of the Fibonacci sequence for the stripes.   I have done this before and decided I really like to count ridges in garter stitch rather than rows.

I am hoping I get to deliver these soon.
