Baby Knits
Today's post has nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with Hannah. If I talked about her again I was going to have consider changing the name of this blog to Hannah Knits. Except that she doesn't. Knit, that is. But I do and today I even have proof.
A finished baby sweater.
The pattern is The Babies Neck Down Cardigan #982 from Knitting Pure and Simple.
The yarn is Cascade 220 Heathers.
The buttons are sheep. And they really couldn't be any cuter.
It's now winging it's way to my friend, who is due in just a few weeks. I can't tell you who she is because she reads this blog and I want her to be surprised. Although, I think this pregnancy surprised her to the point that she may never be truly surprised again.
That, my friends, is a gigantic hint.

the tiniest details on a simple baby sweater just really make it something special, don't they? The sweet crisp fall air this morning made me hug my alpaca/wool yarn... can't wait to start my Rhinebeck sweater. ;)

Adorable sweater; the buttons really make it! I have the same buttons; I bought them years ago with no project in mind, but now I think I'm going to have to copy you :-)

So sweet! Oh to be having babies again - just for the handknits from friends!

KP&S neck down designs are so much fun to knit and a baby sweater would be extra fun and quick. Love the color you used, too!

Cute sweater, cute buttons! Your friend will love it!

What an adorable button!! The sheepy buttons are just a great addition to a beautiful sweater. My son was a surprise for me when I got pregnant with him. My husband kept telling me I was going to get pregnant, I didn't believe him..and lo and behold..I got pregnant. My husband really wanted another baby. LOL.

Okay, I don't know who the surprise mom-to-be is yet, but the important thing is that it's not me.
Cute sweater!
