Fair semantics

Posted on

What exactly is an “infant’s set” in the context of being something I have to knit for the fair? It makes me think of an entire outfit: dress, booties, hat. But what about boys who aren’t dressed in dresses. How about a sweater, booties, hat? Or would that need some sort of pants, too? What about a more summery dress that you wouldn’t want to wear a knitted hat with? And how big is an infant? Would that only be a size 0-3 months? Could it go up to 6 months. 9? Related, how big is a child’s sweater? Is a baby sweater a child sweater? And what is a sweater anyhow? Can it have short sleeves? Is a bolero a sweater?

Who knew this fair stuff would be so complicated.

I started 119 | Needlework | Embroidery | Needlepoint. I am making a really cool pin cushion based on a medieval design. Needlepoint kicks cross-stitch’s bootie.

I also plan to cast on tonight for something that will either be a knitted child’s sweater or part of an infant’s set. I am leaning towards the latter because I think I’d like to make a cool sweater for Anya.
