I love making me some baby sweaters


I love baby sweaters; they are quick, and they look cute, and hey - those wearing them generally don't complain that it's not in style, or you missed a stitch, or anything like that. I made this for he who shall be born next week. I used to work with his Mom - she's a cool one!
This is a really nice pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts; in fact, it's so nice, I've knitted it twice. It's all in the round, with the sleeve done separately in the round and then attached. I originally wanted 3 buttons, but 2 will have to do, because I didn't want the neck to be too high, and my spacing wasn't thought out enough.
Oh yeah, I used Lorna's Laces Shephard Sport in the Jeans colorway, I do believe. 2 skeins, and I have a lot of one left over. I also got to use my addi's (yum yum)!!
