Baby Surprise Jacket
After month’s of not being able to find buttons to match…..
I can finally show you my finished BSJ!
Pattern:Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport multi in Bittersweet
Needles: 5mm circs
Start Date: March 3rd 2009
Finish Date: April 6th 2009
I don’t seem to have ANY notes from knitting this sweater… bad knitter! I do remember that I didn’t want to knit it again anytime soon, it seemed very fiddly to me always having to count to make sure I had enough stitches on either side etc. Once I got nearer to the end it seemed to get easier but it definitely wasn’t the relaxing knit that I was hoping for.
Luckily for me this sweater is for the Tadpole so I won’t need to make another one anytime soon 
Just because they are soooo darn cute…… My babies!!
They were perched on top of the sand pile we were using to make a level spot to put the pool…. don’t ask how it went, we no longer have a pool…. Bosty however loves to dig and enjoyed snoking and digging his little heart out while Molly preferred to use it as a crow’s nest to keep a close eye on her Dad.
Enjoy the sun we are finally getting!

Very pretty; I tried one of those and couldn’t get it; glad to know it wasn’t all me. Still want to have another go at it one day.

Um, what can I say? This is amazing – not only are you talented, but you have a great eye for color, shape and style. You should sell these!

Is it just me or are you knitting everything girl?? I have the yarn for a surprise jacket but haven’t wanted to knit it. Maybe someday if my daughter has a girl down the road. Your babies are so cute!!!

This has got to be my most favorite Baby Surprise Jacket yet! So, are we making big assumptions that Tadpole is a little girl?

Your BSJ looks beautiful, and the colors are so pretty and bright. I love the picture of your dogs, they look like very lovable ones and I am sure they would enjoy digging in all that dirt. I know my kelpie would!

your sweater looks so bright and fresh, too bad it wasn’t relaxing. i am working on felted slippers, and while not difficult they are fiddly. ugh!

Oh my goodness! I have one of these on the needles for you as we speak!
It’s not often I get to knit for bablies so jumped at the chance when you announced your news. At least you won’t have to knit another yourself!
