It's not my fault that the scary parts of movies are also the quiet parts. (Clickety click)

Contrary to the evidence, I have actually been a busy little knitting bee of late. The needles have been both a-clicking and a-clacking, much to the dismay of my fellow movie-goers. Stress will keep them moving - unfortunately, in an unfortunate twist of irony, stress will also steal the words out from under my fingertips (code for: i ain't been postin').

Shall we start with the furthest back? I am the lucky auntie of a charming young (very young) gentleman who seemed to have arrived with little to no clothing of his own back in June. To save him some embarrassment, I worked up a little bit of this:

 And a bit of that....
Unintentionally gangsta. But with that cute little mug of his, he'll need something to make him seem meaner.
The pattern is The Baby Sweater Buffet, Snowsuit Edition from the Sweatshop of Love. The yarn is Wool-Ease. The buttons are 17 in number. (My sister-out-law is going to kill me) Conclusion: this pattern is so darn fun, I might knit up a me-sized one. With footies. And probably 18,934 buttons.

I also added a hood later, but didn't seem to take a photo. I mean, why would I? It's just hours of my life spent...... *SOB*

More to come from the knit life. (Stop laughing. I'm serious.)
Cheers!

This is so cute! The green buttons are a nice contrast. And your sister-out-law is definitely going to kill you - 17 buttons and a wriggling baby!!
