Baby Surprise!

See what channeling Elizabeth Zimmermann can produce? Actually finished knitting this amazing piece of clothing architecture a while back and have been saving it for a very special baby. A worthy recipient is about to be born, so this week I assembled the shoulders with an i-cord 'seam' -- the only seam in the entire sweater! -- and sewed in my tag and attached buttons. Voila! Not sure if baby is boy or girl, but think this will work either way. The yarn is leftover stash from a cardigan I made 20+ years ago out of Reynolds Town and Country, a wonderful 85/15 wool/acrylic DK weight yarn in rich, heathery colors. Now I'm inspired to make an Adult Surprise for myself out of some worsted weight yarn I dyed last fall with homegrown Japanese Indigo...Stay tuned!
