Knit for the punk-rock baby of a friend. Seriously, this kid is cooler than you, and he's not even eight pounds yet.
The yarn:
Knit Picks' Swish DK, in Coal and Petal. Took way more yarn than called for, approximately seven balls of each colour to make size small.
The project: http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall08/PATTopart.
The result:
The rest: It was a pain to knit with over 600 stitches in the outer rounds, but much-appreciated by Baby H's parents. I'm sure Baby H will appreciate it too, as soon as he wakes up from his nap.
Wow, it turned out great! How long did it take to bind off all those stitches? Yikes!
