Oatmeal - the sweaterPattern: Get Ziggy by annypurls
Yarn: Vermont Organic Fiber Company O-Wool Classic (100% certified organic merino wool) in 7100 (Oatmeal) - less than 2 skeins
Needles: US6 and US8
I really enjoyed knitting this sweater. I'd definitely recommend this one for a baby in your life. The pattern was well-written, and it so quick to knit. Seaming took me a while, but then again, I am a slow seamer, so take that with a grain of salt. This was my first time working with O-Wool, and I loved it. I will definitely use it again. With some of the leftover yarn, I decided to knit a little something to go along with the sweater. I couldn't easily approximate just how much yarn there was leftover - would it be enough for booties? Perhaps, but not seemingly. A hat? Maybe. But I decided on a little (and I mean little) pair of mittens. I mean, baby mittens - how cute!

Not much to say about these besides the fact that they are super duper cute.
...and on a final note, speaking of babies, Julia's little guy seems almost as eager to join us as we are to meet him! J, I'm thinking about you (and the puppy pads - thanks, M). ;) Just give me the word and I'm there!

Ooh.. what a beautiful little sweater! I love the color.
It looks glorious! Glad you enjoyed the pattern ;0)
The sweater turned out great.
This is so sweet! It is done so well, and will look great on the little guy :)

That sweater is really cute! I'm sure the baby in question will look adorable in it.
The cuteness! Oh my. Those knits are both adorable!!
Look at that killer finishing job. Well done. Love the cable. And those mittens are so wee and cute.
You rock the baby knit, grrl.

Those mittens are just precious! of course the sweater is absolutely gorgeous with those cables!

OMG, that girl with the inhalents! I feel kind of bad, actually, for snarking on her. She seemed to have some seriously problems, but she was so damn obnoxious that I couldn't help myself. I'M WALKING. ON. SUNSHINE!
The baby goods are extremely adorable, btw. I love the oatmeal color, and they are classy. Unlike huffers of computer dust remover, these are made of win.
OMG! I love this set. Absolutely yummy. If I didn't already have three wonderful generous gifts from you I'd be begging for more. Dis is sure to make out like a bandit when she gets showered!
Adorable! I've been wanting to try the O-wool.
ack. so cute. i need to find some folks that live in a cold climate so that i can knit a nice warm piece like that. i am adding those patterns to my queue just in case.
hope all the wedding bits are coming together well. maybe we can meet up in a few weeks to sit, talk and knit (so much to talk about when it comes to pollan, just you wait).
