This is a huge TA DA moment for me, I have finished knitting an entire sweater! Okay it's only a baby sweater, but it is done! I made it for my new niece. I also made the cutest little matching shoes out of wool felt that I will show you tomorrow.
The top of this little matinee sweater is done in seed stitch. The front has three mother of pearl buttons. I actually knitted tiny buttons holes, and it all turned out! I am still in shock. I wasn't sure how long the sweater would take me so I made it in the sixth month size to be sure baby Erin could still wear it by the time I finished. I'm not sure I quite have the technique right for sewing the pieces together but it isn't bad for my very first one. Now maybe I will have the courage to finish the much easier sweater I started for myself fifteen years ago!

I'm so impressed. Finding time to knit in the midst of everything--that is no small feat.
This will be a treasured heirloom.
