All finished and ready for our neighbour who is due at any time now.
This little jacket was really easy to knit as it was up to the underarm in 1 piece. The little sleeves were each done in an afternoon.
The yoke was a bit different and I had to remember the yon wasn't when my brain said it should be, but when the pattern said it should be. Once that had been established, the yoke pattern was easy to complete.
I have started to use the circular needles when knitting large amount of stitches and I am finding this easier that using 2 needles. So when it came time to use 2.75 needles.... I didn't have a circular needle in that size. Panicked 
until I remembered I have a pile of needle sets of the other kind. Funny how you can have tunnel vision when wanting to finish a project.
Now this is finished I will start Pa's socks for his birthday. Never ending my Knitting Box.

Hi there, I am visiting my daughter and granddaughter in the USA from South Africa. The 4ply white Baby Jacket is exactly what I am looking for but can't find the book. Would it be possible to send it to me by email or post.
Many thanks,
