WIP Wednesday: Another small thing

Garter edge detail of baby cardigan #2. There is still much to be done. 2 sleeves, a shawl collar and a button band that will not get done tonight (PTA Meeting) or tomorrow (Middle School Family welcome night avec ice cream social).

As I was commenting at Woolythyme, it seems like I know a lot of people coming down with a case of the babies!


This co-worker's wife is also due any minute. Thankfully I have his mailing address, because I don't think I can beat the baby for this one. Wow that sounds horrible, but you know, finish on time.

I am in general knitting this Go To pattern with some decent pace (at least for me) probably because I'm imagining knitting socks or other grown people accessories and apparel in the not so far future. 

... but wouldn't this sweater look great with a hat??  I really do just make it harder for myself don't I?

  1. New babies can do that to a person. We want to dress them head to toe in very cute "woolens". I LOVE the raspberry color of the yarn. Way CUTE!

  2. It's darling and would look cute with a hat, but being pressed for time, I'd skip it.

  6. Aw, love baby knits! And the red is gorgeous. Love the little Bean Cardi from the day, that's bookmarked, maybe I will get to it this year of baby knitting for my new great-nieces/nephew.

  7. Lucky you! I wish I had babies to knit for! The sweater is working up nicely. Lovely color. I vote for knitting the hat, too.

  8. the sweater is perfect and you know I think it is going to be lovely to arrive after the baby. New parents get so overwhelmed with gifts that one presented a few eeks after the baby arrives is so appreciated.
    Be well,

  11. A knitted cardigan speaks volumes. If you really Jane time to kill, do the hay. Otherwise, move on to something else, like for yourself, LOL.
