Joining Ginny and Nicole.

Here it is: my finished Milo. I am so pleased with how it turned out. Despite the fact that I intended to knit the newborn size, the vest turned out to match the measurements of the 0-3 month size perfectly.  I didn’t even have to block it. I’m actually okay with this; the only reason I didn’t try to knit the 0-3 month size originally is because I thought I wouldn’t have enough yarn. Go figure. The vest is a lovely celery green color and I chose the owl cable motif that runs down the side. The yarn is Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed and it is incredibly soft and plush.

I cast on for a pair of simple knit two purl two rib socks for Gabe. I’ll post picks as they progress. Happy Wednesday, friends.
