What's this?

Do you know what this is?
It doesn't look like much, but this, my friends, is a whole lot of loose ends that I need to weave in.

I am nearly done my Baby Surprise Jacket (BSJ). Nearly. I still have to weave in the aforementioned loose ends, I need to sew up two seams, and then I need to pick out buttons!

Know what that means? February's new knitting pattern is almost complete!! January's project still needs arms and buttons, but February's is almost complete!

I am tempted to cast on another BSJ immediately as I have thoroughly enjoyed knitting this one. There's only one thing I would do differently -- next time I will use a single colourway.  This particular project was crafted by alternating three different skeins which is why I have so much weaving in to do! I would do something more like the sweater in the link next time -- a single, self-striping skein.

I will take more/better photos when I am alive and functioning during daylight hours. I am starting the last of five night shifts so this week has been a bit of a write-off (though I have managed to knit up this sweater). I can't wait for you to see just how darling it is!
