Finished Baby Sweater!

[brdgt]

This weekend I finished the X's and O's baby sweater! I've blocked mom and dad from seeing it here and on FB. I started it in March and it was a rather hard pattern, but by the end I had I had it memorized. antarcticlust did the finishing button holes for me because it was a crochet pattern.

Done!

Mistakes and all:

Thanks! Morgan is a deserving chap.

is this the Morgan that i've met?

i love baby sweaters with the button up shoulders...a handy way to get a sweater on and off a wiggling spawn, i'm sure!

Yes! Plus, his wife is a knitter, so she's not going to throw it in the washing machine or dryer!

that's awesome. i always include a little "dude, seriously, DON'T THROW THIS IN THE WASHER" note with my handknits now. unless it's one of the acrylic/wool mixes that i actually like - some of those do okay in the delicate cycle.

Oh my gosh, it's stunning! My baby stuff always comes out shaped so horribly - I'm envious of your great proportions.

Ugh - I'm awful at gauge though! I block before I seam together and after!

It's really beautiful!

Thanks! Although, I doubt I'd make anything so complicated for many other people - the dad was my college roommate and the mom is a knitter (so she won't throw it in the washing machine or dryer).
