Little one (part one)

Someone I love is expecting a baby! Its a secret, but I'm honestly not sure anyone reads this, so I figure the news is safe here. They don't know yet if this new addition is a boy or girl. I decided to knit up a sweater for Christmas. I wanted the colors to be neutral, but fun, and I found this yarn


It's Claudia Hand painted fingering in the colorway Purple Earth. I love it!

I'm knitting up Joji Locatelli's Garter stictch baby kimono. 

I love the simplicity of the pattern, even if it did come back to bite me. Somehow I got it into my head that I was supposed to knit 20 cm of garter stitch. I got to 20cm, pleased as can be, and realized that I was actually only supposed to knit 12 cm. SIGH. Good thing I love to knit ha ha haha. I've started the front decreases and should be done any time now, and this can go into my growing pile of hand made gifts.
