What was in the box?

It was a Baby Surprise Jacket!!!My sister asked me to make a little something for her bun in the oven. It was pretty fun to make. Pretty confusing. I believe that if I had tried to make this project two years ago, I would of given up knitting baby sweaters. I'm just glad I have figured out how to read a pattern between then and now. Never mind trying to imagine what the piece was going to look like.

I picked out some great Bamboo yarn and was ready to go. It just took so long to post because my sister moved and I didn't have her new address. I mean, it's a "surprise jacket." I couldn't post it before she got the open the box.

Either way the gift was a huge success.

Hi! Thanks for the comment. When life slows down, I'd like to email you. I love finding So Cal knitters. My yarn didn't end up working out as Koolhaas, but I'm knitting the asscot from the holiday IK. Koolaas will be next OTN.
