I went to a baby shower this weekend for Joe's cousin (his Dad's sister's daughter, if you're curious), and I made her one of those Zodiac sleeping sacks. It might just be my standard baby gift for a while. It takes about 3 days to make, plus one day to make the chart at the bottom, screw up the duplicate stitch, rip it all out, start over at least 2 times, then finally get it right. But, if you know how to count, you can skip that last part. ;)
The new mom & dad both went to the University of Notre Dame. They loved it! The only problem I had was figuring out WTF to do with the remaining 5000 yards of this:
I also got around to blocking & getting a pic of my Back to School U-Neck Vest from Fitted Knits. Before I blocked it, I tried it on and absolutely hated it. It sat in a pile in the floor for WEEKS until yesterday. Of course, after blocking, it looks fine. Why I haven't learned this yet, I can't tell you.
And, ---AND--- Joe finally modeled his Cheezy Puffs sweater for me:

The vest looks great Jenny! It's making me kind of want to resurrect my own that's crumpled up in a box somewhere :) Hmmm. Maybe you could look for a Winnie-the-Pooh pattern for all that yellow yarn! Looks like you'd have enough for a giganto version. Or donate it. Your baby gift turned out awesome so it was totally worth it though :)
You've been a busy girl! The baby gift is adorable, Joe looks great in his Cheezy Puffs and you look faboo in the U Neck vest too. Remind me again what yarn you used for that? I don't know what to tell you about the zillion pounds of gold yarn except maybe see if you can get something good for it over at the KnitSwap list?
The U-Neck vest looks great! That one's on my list. Wow on the duplicate stitch. I haven't tried that yet. I like Joe's sweater too - very nice. I didn't realize you had made him that. You must have made it awhile ago before I "met" you?
The u-neck vest is cute! I'm glad you like it now. There is nothing worse than hating something you just spent a bunch of time on.
Maybe you can use up the rest of the Caron yarn by making Joe his very own Zodiac sleeping sack?! heh
The vest is adorable! I would like mine in autumnal colours, just ship it to Wisconsin when you're done ;)
