Sweetheart Pullover

This sweater (#2 for petit loup) was a recycling experiment, to see if I could combine leftover blue-grey-purple yarns into one colorway, and my red-orange yarns into another, and follow a traditional two-color pattern (sweetheart pullover from Falick and Nicholas' Knitting for Baby. The result is a somewhat too-stretchy sweater that recalls the history of many, many baby sweaters that came before it. My husband suggested, after the fact, that I make the heart orange - which would have been lovely. Another smart idea that I didn't get in time would be to knit this sweater in the round, thus saving much weaving in of ends. Two months later, I knit a hat to match. I especially like the tricolor pompon, who waves precariously atop a little "stalk" à la Dr. Seuss.
