Notes

Sweater only, not enough yarn for the trousers. I’m not making any changes to the pattern, except a 3-needle bind off for the shoulder (it’s so much neater.)

Finished, very cute. I must have some wooden buttons somewhere.

Will wait to find out whether it’s a boy or a girl before I knit the pocket. Grey for a boy, mauve or even pink (yes, pink!) if it’s a girl. Can’t seem to get round to the fact that this is where my baby goes!

--Rrrrright then, it’s a girl! I decided against the wooden buttons in the end, judging the little stars cuter. The hat is obviously not her size, and I’m not sure it will fit a newborn either, so I’m thinking of frogging and remaking. We shall see. Got my hands full at the moment.

It’s turned out into one of my favourites in the end. I’ve given it to little Marta to use, since it’s the perfect size for her and perfect for the weather. Bizkit can use it when she grows a bit!

--Nóra has used it a lot, but she could have used it even more if the body and sleeves had been longer.
