This is adorable! I'm so in awe of people who can cast on, kind of wing it, and end with a gorgeous FO. And that is such a beautiful blue!

This is really sweet! All my friends are having babies at the moment and it really inspires me to want to learn to knit, you have a real talent.

Thank you, ladies! I have to admit that knitting baby items is pretty much purely rewarding, since the knitting time is minimal and the finished items are so freaking adorable :) What more incentive could you need?
Okay Im making one!!!!! it's addorable....and it BEE
s cute too
one more thing Allison:
When do you start the decreases?
Kathy, I think I started decreasing after the fifth set of purl/reverse stockinette ridges. I did 2 stockinette blocks with decreases on rows 1 and 3, and then I decreased on every stockinette row on the last two stockinette sections. I ended with 8 sts and passed the yarn end through them all. Hope that works out!
