Here is the baby sweater for Satomi's little girl - who isn't due until September and I am pleasantly chuffed that I have finished it so early. The pattern was designed by the Yarn Harlot herself and the pattern can be found at Knitty at http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer03/PATTdaisy.html if you are interested. I knit the sweater out of Plymouth's 'Oh My!' yarn (colour 13 - a pale aqua) - partly chosen because it was so soft it reminded me of stuffed animals for babies. I made the smallest size (6 months, I believe) and used 4 balls. I still have one ball untouched, so I may knit up a quick hat to go along with the sweater. I'm not sure why the left side (right in the picture) is curling a bit like that - hopefully it will get in line once the sweater is washed.
And here is the half finished object - a single sock knit out of Knitpick's Dancing sock yarn. I like how it pooled and unintentionally striped - and have resigned myself to the fact that the pair-to-be will most likely be a fraternal twin.

Jo, the sweater is beautiful, Satomi's little girl will love it!! Love Jaimes
Cute sweater! So stylish too. And great job on the sock! At least your sock HAS a twin...mine is an only child!
I'm still working on my mini-cable socks out of the dancind you sent me. And they did the same thing along the cuff. identically. I don't think you'll have a problem getting the second to look similar if not exact. The yarn finds it's own rhythm pretty quickly.
