I just finished a mint green version of Elizabeth Zimmerman's "February Baby Sweater" how appropriate and that wasn't even planned! Not sure who this will be for as it looks a little too frilly for a boy and my niece just had a baby boy "Bennett Arthur MacGregor".... so I put the finishing touches on another sweater (Quickie Baby Sweater with Hood) that I had done recently, it's very boyish and blue to boot. I'll post pictures later of both sweaters.
Bill and I went away for a quiet weekend to celebrate our 25th anniversary, so of course I took my knitting. I started another February baby sweater, this one in 2 shades of peach. I'm going to make a few additional embellishments on this one, as well as adjust the directions a bit. As anyone who has done any of Elizabeth Zimmerman's patterns would know, they are a bit vague and you have to sort of fly by the seat of your pants to get through them.... they good news is that once you master one they make a lot of sense and I usually end up making several versions of each. Her Baby Surprise Jacket is a real adventure I've made 2 of these and then went on to make one in stockinette stitch which is a bit different in the final measurements of the jacket. I believe she even has an adult version of this pattern.
Well, back to my needles!
