Finally a FO!

I started this little sweater for A at the beginning of May and only just finished it this past weekend! It still needs to be blocked and for buttons to be sew on, but I think it is very cute! Nausea and morning sickness (baby #3 is due in December) have kept me from knitting for over a month now, but they are letting up. Pattern: My own, loosely based on the Open-Collared Pullover from EZ's Knitter's Almanac
Stitch Pattern: Diamond Brocade from Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns
Yarn: 2 skeins (123 yds each) of KnitPicks CotLin in Key Lime. I only had several inches of yarn left!
Size: 20" chest, for my 13 mo A. Hopefully I'll get him to model it after I find some cute buttons!

I'm working on a project for B at the moment. I should have it done by the end of the week. It is good to be knitting again! Then I need to decide what to spin for the Journey to a Shawl KAL. It will be great incentive to spin up enough yarn for a big project! I also have a bit of yarn spun to make B some more slipper socks since she loves the pair that she has.
