Some stuff
Back in October when I started all this, I decided that I was going to be adventurous, and try just about anything, and if it sucked I could frog it and move on. I started on a pair of socks, with dpn and I think I did ok! I like them, they fit, and as Connie says, they are jeans-friendly. Here they are: 
So now, a few more sets of needles later, I have been mostly buying circulars because why not? They are just long dpn, with a place for stuff to hang out when it gets heavy. The only thing I don’t like about them is that they are kinda difficult to store, right now they are in a bucket from some peppermint patty-esque things that were sitting on Amy’s desk at work. Good reuse, yes, but a big tangled mess. I have a vision of some sort of contraption made of index cards that are folded and stacked and can hang on the wall by my bed where I do most of my knitting. I tend to buy my circulars in twos, so I can go all the way around something if needed.
I am working on a Baby Albert sweater #1 in Cotton-Ease from LB. This yarn is nicer than I thought it would be, and I love the colors, Blue Candy and Blueberry. I am making 2 sweaters for the twins because I hated the shawl that I was going to make for their mom. Not sure about the sizing though, it’s supposed to be for 0-3 (that is months, yeah? I don’t have any kids to ask) but it looks a lot bigger than that. I am a bit off gauge though, 21sts over 4 inches instead of 20/4, but the directions said get close. I didn’t think it would be that much larger. But that’s fine, most kids get bigger over time, not smaller. : /
Here’s the first one: 
The second will be in the opposite colors. They are fraternal, so their gifts can be too. Kinda like my socks.
Your baby Albert was SO CUTE! I’m making my first one in purple and turquoise, with striped sleeves. Hey, since you’ve obviously finished at least one, can I ask you a question? Is it me, or is the front of the sweater exactly the same size as the back, which makes the button overlap all wonky? Sally says to pick up 29 stitches (in the 3-6 size) for each front, and 56 in the back. Two stitches are NOT enough. Did you have this problem, or am I on crack?
Thanks,
Kathy
It seemed fine to my, everything paired up okay. But, one thing that I did different was I didn’t knit in the back of the YOs on the button holes, and I am so glad I didn’t, because those buttons would have never fit through the holes. But, I used cotton, I imagine wool would be a bit more stretchy.
