Little Baby Sweater

I finished a project!! Finally!! And it was my first sweater. This really took no time at all. It's so tiny and I thought I would never figure out how to seam it all together but it really wasn't that bad. The pattern is from Debbie Bliss' book "Special Knits - 22 Gorgeous Handknits for Babies and Toddlers" and there's really some good stuff in there. For the yarn I used two strands of Dale Baby Ull which is 100% Merino Wool. So soft. Now I need to find 6 buttons to go on it. I'm thinking pearly.

I think Baby Girl will wear this home from the hospital over the little blue smocked dress I did as long as the sweater doesn't swallow her. Now I need to do a hat to match it. Gah! Then I will need booties to match that and some little mittens to match those...haha j/k. I hope it fits her..my mom wanted me to send her a picture of it on something um...."Like on what mom...the cat?" and she said "No..how about on a teddy bear." lol..that explains the weird pic below.

I saw this little 4 year old boy the other day in a completely knitted outfit...pants, sweater with a dog on it and hat. Tweedy could not stop laughing. It was pretty tacky. I'll try not to get too crazy with knitting clothes for her but it's fun and fast!! Quick knitting gratification.
