I still haven't figured out the caplet pattern [although anonymous's comment did provide some insight], but I will probably give it another go tonight.
 | With the night ahead of me and no caplet, I did what I do in so many other situations: started a new project. I am giving the minisweater another go with Peruvian Wool. I'm using a size 10 needle instead of the recommended 9 so the sweater will be a bit looser, but that is sort of the effect I am going for. I have been browsing eBay this morning for a brooch that matches. |
| I've been bringing the Obligatory Baby Blanket with me to work, and I've got about 3 inches (of 33!) done. After that, it's the Obligatory Baby Sweater. I should clarify, I am calling this 'obligatory' not because I resent my soon-to-be niece/nephew, but as a joke because my brother-in-law gave me all the yarn as a christmas gift. What else was I going to do with 1200 yards of white baby yarn? |  |
My step-sister confided to me that while he was at Michael's getting the yarn, he found a book entitled 'How to knit baby clothes' or something of the like. He called her from the store and said 'if I get this for Delia, would that be a little too blunt?'
Not blunt, dear brother-in-law, but I will say this: As long as you keep buying me yarn and bamboo needles, I might consider clothing your baby for the next couple years.

At least you can have someone else support your habit...I'd start looking for patterns in yarn I want to work with, for the kid, of course. :-)
