Details: Tangled Yoke Cardigan, Interweave KnitsFelted Tweed, 7 Balls purchased at Knitting Sisters while on vacation
#3 needles for body, size #0 for the button bands
August 2007-January 2008
Mismatched (though all black) vintage buttons from button jar
I would actually knit this again. The fit is so good, and it was fun to make. Plus, it has loads of "knitterly" details like the long ribbing on the arms and body, the fantastic cabled yoke, and the mismatched buttons. The pattern is very classic and will be current for many years.
More news:
I have 5 friends/family who are having (or have had) babies this year. I am planning to knit Baby Surprise Jackets for most of them....unless I get very sick of this pattern. Its so cute and fun to make; I think I can crank out at least 4.This is the first, meant for friends in Edinburgh, who had a girl before Christmas. I have not yet put her tag/name into it--I love the custom tag in handknits.
Details:
Partial balls of Louet Gems Sport which is SUPERWASH!) of white, purple and yellow.
Pattern from The Opinionated Knitter
Yarn from The Yarn Lounge
Mismatched (but all white) buttons from the vintage button jar.

Wow, you have been a busy knitter. I love the cardigan
The Tangled Yike is just so incredible!! The picture just doesn't do it justice. It's brilliant!
I love the BSJ -- I think I'll be knitting some soon ...
Yikes! I meant Yoke not Yike!
Both sweaters are way cute, especially yours - it looks wonderful on you!
Oh, Suzanne, the tangled yoke is gorgeous, and looks fantastic on you! Great job knitting it! That Eunny can design a sweater, can't she?
Always love to see BSJs -- looking forward to the next four!
