Notes

Update 2014:
This has been used SO much! Almost every day for months for my oldest daughter. Then used a lot for three more babies to come. Looks almost as new still! Only thing is that the buttonholes in the crotch has gotten a bit wide after much use.

Now in storage for possible grandchildren in 20-30 years time ;)

2009:
11/05: Cast on!
19/05: Finished both legs and moved on to body. Entering a bad patch of the yarn, one strain braking now and then (uneven tension?). In the end, the yarn just snapped. Annoying for a $10/skein yarn :(

31/10: Taken this up again after months at the bottom of my drawer. It’s turning out very long and narrow due to me obviously not meeting the gauge (as always…). I really prefer patterns with both length and with given in stitches/rows so that the proportions are OK even when my gauge is off.

01/11: Finished all the knitting!
02/11: Finished weaving in ends and adding buttons! Only blocking and photographing left.
