Yep, knittin' for a baby again, one of the husband's co-workers and a real estate customer of mine. This is a quick little sweater to knit, it has various names, Best Baby Sweater, February Sweater, Two-Needle Baby Sweater. It's by Elizabeth Zimmermann, so you know it's good stuff. Variations include lengthening the arms by one inch, and adding the decorative eyelet in the collar, cuffs and sleeves. I was unhappy with the yoke increases, so made them a "feature" by using yarnovers instead. Added them midway in the cuffs and sleeves by K1, *K1, YO, K2TOG* across. The hat is the former Petal Baby Hat which is now named Ripple Eyelet Baby Hat. I've already rewritten this hat for working in the round on two circs, would like to also change the stitch pattern to the gull-wing pattern, but one is a ten-stitch repeat and the other is seven, so it'll take some tinkering to rework the crown decreases and I'd rather be on to other things. Someday.
Oh, and I did I mention that this was STASHED Knitpicks Shine yarn? Woo hoo!
