I used about two-thirds of a hank of Misti Alpaca Pima Cotton Silk DK in a straw colour. I picked this up at Shall We Knit in February, and it was sitting in the stash ready to be a February Baby Sweater since. It feels so warm and buttery and soft all at the same time. Like petting the belly of a well-brushed kitten. Yes. That's what it feels like.
So that brings me up to six out of twelve Elizabeth Zimmermann patterns so far. I think I'm pacing myself quite nicely. I still have to steek something as it's on my list of to-do's, but I'm confident that I can finish another six projects before year-end. Absolutely

I have officially failed miserably at the EZ throw down. *sigh*
It's not like I didn't know you'd kick my butt at it, but at least I was ahead at one point. Briefly!
This is beautiful! I'm knitting a baby sweater right now and wish I'd chosen this pattern instead of the one I'm using -- oh well -- knit and learn ;-)

It's a very sweet little sweater. It's a nice color too. Lucky little one to fall be able to wear the softness of a kitten.
What a cute little sweater! Hopefully you post a picture of your friends baby wearing it!
I like the color of the yarn you used it came out great it seems everyone is having babies lately. So far I haven't made anything from EZ yet but I do love the Feb Baby Sweater.
It's so pretty! The pattern definition, the laciness, the colour...gorgeous! =)
*lol* at the seriously thing! That's awesome!
I love the sweater :)
