often for my knitting to look anything like how it is supposed to.
I know it is just a matter of practice and it probably wouldn't hurt if I stoped trying to watch tv at the same time. It's just that while I am knitting it is usually when I am also watching tv.
Elizabeth Zimmermann's February Baby Sweater has been on my list of one day I would like to make this list for a few years now, but I have never had a reason to make it and I wasn't about to play with yarn overs just for the sake of it. Sneaky dissappearing little things that they are.
Then I found out that my niece was pregnant. Out came the pattern and yarn. Out came lots of muttered swearing and two attempts later I have a collar and one sleeve.
It is actually looking like it is supposed to.
I may have done a happy dance or two around my loungeroom.
Then sister came over and told me that my niece had a baby boy. Eeeeek.
Can anyone suggest cute boy jumpers?

I have knit a few baby boy sweaters if you would like to take a peek at my ravelry page. Some dont take very long to knit up at all.
I often pick up the yfwd on the next row. This makes them all the same size because I hate it when you do them before a purl and a knit and they are diferent sizes!!
Bad luck with the colour choice because that is so pretty!!!
I know Clickertyclick has a simple top down pattern. Not much help, am I???
Oh what a pretty cardigan!
I made this for a boy:
