Yarn: Madelinetosh Pashmina, "Robin Red Breast"
It's an adorable little sweater. I've always admired the adult version but something about doubling the number of stitches to knit the runched sections always deterred me (not to mention my lack of sweater knitting lately, but that's another story). Baby runched sections went quickly enough that I finished them before I had time to start getting annoyed.
The good stuff: It's cute, I finished something, and Madtosh Pashmina is really lovely to knit with and makes a beautiful finished object. Soft with a little sheen and nice drape. No clue how it will hold up for a baby, but the little one will probably outgrow it before it makes it out of the wash.
And of course, awesome buttons from Jennie the Potter:
In retrospect, I think white buttons on a red sweater is a little too much contrast, and if I could do it over, I might have done a white sweater with some red trim. Something to think about if I decide to use the 3 leftover buttons for a new project.
