Placket
I’ve always liked the word “placket“. I can’t say why – it just feels good in the mouth, so I was probably always likely to be well-disposed towards the Child’s Placket-Neck Pullover from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I was so pleased when the reality of knitting the garment was as lovely.
Seamless sweaters are great. I’ve just had the experience of knitting all the parts of a Debbie Bliss non-seamless sweater and I just know I’m never going to sew it together. Even if I did, I’d make a hash of it. I think it’s got to be seamless all the way now.
I have my eye on Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jacket next which has some micro-seams, but I don’t think they’ll challenge me.
[Edited to add:
I used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK. I'll look up the colour for you all as I can't remember off hand.]

This is so cute. What a treasure. I have made one Baby Surprise Jacket. It’s fun, but you do need to be careful counting.

What gorgeous colours and a very neat finish. Well done you. I like your like for a word. I’m exactly like that – I love the fact that there is a proper word for something, even if it isn’t known by most people.
