the five hour baby sweater for my baby

so i've been going a little bit crazy with the baby knits! yes, i'll admit it... some say it's because i'm sentimental, but really i think it's the satisfaction of finishing something so fast and the fact that a lot of stuff only uses one skein of yarn, which is both economic and stash-busting. not that i don't love to make teeny tiny little things that will end up on my baby :) i just love the instant gratification of it all. so the latest thing i've made, since the hats, is this five hour baby sweater (i got the pattern here, although i revised it a little). it was supposed to take 5 hours, but i think it probably took me a little bit more than that. anyhow, now that it's done it's very satisfying and super cute! i love it. and i made it with some knitpicks yarn i had leftover from my mom's hat & gloves -- which was supposed to be a clapotis-- i made about a year ago for her birthday.
