this weekend i finished knitting the sweater vest for my newborn baby cousin, Darith (i finally learned his name!) let me tell you, i couldn't stop gushing over it: so tiny, so tweedy, so stripey...
blocking with buttons.*
i didn't yet have any buttons, so i braved the rainfall to find suitably cute ones at Imagiknit, where of course, i couldn't resist showing off the tweedy vest to any lady or gent who happened to approach!
* these wouldn't have been my first choice of buttons, but i love the contrast. the limey-yellow really stands out against the green and grey tweed; it works also because the green tweed has flecks of yellow and blue.
happy knitting!

Aww, so cute! I hope Darith's (what a cool name!) parents send you a modeled shot you can post!

Babies are such fun to knit for. Tiny people! Tiny knits! Tweed for everyone. Maybe if everyone wore tweed from birth, everyone would have a better fashion sense as they grew.
