Two Gold and Two Bronze Medals?

I passed this little beauty off to my friend, Shanetha, today:

Shanetha's sweater

I have to say I never looked this good at 39 weeks pregnant! Shanetha was worried that she wasn't going to make it through the weekend, but I told her she had to make it to work on Monday so I could give her the baby sweater I had knit for her impending little boy.

The Particulars:

Yarn: Bernat Softee Baby Sport
Pattern: Baby Raglan
Needles: Size US 2 and 4, 16" circulars and dpns

All in all, this sweater took me about 10 days to knit (interspersed with knitting my socks). I think if I was only working on this, I could finish it in 2-3 days. It is definitely the easiest baby sweater pattern I have ever used.

*********************************************

My medal count? Well, I have two complete finished objects -a baby blanket for Lauren (which I forgot to take a picture of before I gave it to her) and Shanetha's baby blanket. I have also finished two socks, but they are not a pair - rather, consecutive socks from different pairs. I'm counting that as two golds and two bronze medals!

Ooh, look how the dark blue stripes mirror each other. Nice job.
I didn't look that good at 39 wks either - big old bloater, me!

Dang, she looks great. Her first?
The sweater looks so cute on her (tiny) belly.
