Squeee!
There's just nothing cuter than small clothes. Color me behind the times, but I only recently discovered the works of Elizabeth Zimmerman and now I'm addicted. I just love how her brain worked and I finally got around to knitting one of her patterns, the Baby Surprise jacket (I used the instructions in her Knitting Workshop book. I love how her dislike of seaming (aka laziness) was quite the mother of invention for her...this jacket is done in one piece so that it looks like an amoeba...

...until you do a bit of simple origami and VOILA! it's a jacket...how cool is that?

And lookie! Booties! I had never made booties before...found a great pattern online, Christine's Baby Booties and I just love the sense of history this pattern has...
Used 2 skeins of Koigu KPPPM with just maybe 10 yards leftover...great way to use sock yarn when you're not in the mood to knit socks...

I have "Knitting Workshop", too and love it! Your surprise jacket looks great! Love the yarn.
That is one cool baby sweater! I need to make a few baby things. That sweater may be one of them!
