Fiber Finish

I made this cute jacket from this pattern on etsy.  I opted to leave off the hood as I really wanted to finish it (and hoods are hard with babies).  The only thing I dislike about the pattern is the method of joining.  I tried it to follow the pattern, but if I make another, I will try my own methods



I followed the 3-6 month directions, but JoJo, who is already 10 lb. 11 oz., is swimming in it.  I certainly hope he'll grow into it before the weather warms up.  Earlier this week, on Sunday and Monday, we had windows open and I couldn't sleep at night because the house didn't cool down.  Craziness!

I'm glad I finished it, and will look through the other patterns I bought from this shop and try another!

Great work! Handmade sweaters are just the thing for babies ... And he will probably grow into it soon!

I love it! It looks soft and cozy... and very fashionable, actually! I'll be excited to see how it looks on him once he grows into it :). You are so talented, sissy!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
