I have been knitting a bit as of late.....

I just found out I am an uncle again. Baby Clint was born recently and I thought I would whip him up a sweater. Most of my recent experience with infants was during clinicals in school, and that was a while back. I picked up a little pajama thingy and used it for size. Well, to make a long story short, Clint will be wearing this sweater next fall. I just made a top down raglan. I knew I needed to make the neck larger for his big head as he was over nine pounds at birth. The whole thing is ending up a little large for an infant. I will pass it along to my Mother when she visits next month, along with the extra yarn. Mom can make adjustments if need be. Clint is going to end up being a hunter so I thought his sweater would be smashing in a camoflage print yarn. I think the family will get a kick out of this.

I am three fingers short of finishing the second glove. I also ripped the Kureyon scarf I was working on as I found another pattern I liked better. I was visiting a local LYS today and they had a free pattern I loved. Will post more on that visit and the scarf later. All for now.........

that's really cute. Don't worry about a sweater being too big for a baby, because they will grow into it in know time and if you lag behind it will probably fit by the time your done. LOL. Are you using the top down raglan instructions that you talked about awhile back ago for the baby sweater too?
