Finished!!

Here's the baby outfit. It took about 5 days to knit. ok.. heres the stats... The cardi was knit with Laines du Nord (almost 4 skeins) but I dont remember what colorway. The pattern was http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall02/PATThaiku.html . It was an easy pattern but the yarn called for size 3 needles, so it took me for ever. I did not put in buttons, but I attached 2 I-cords to the front to make a cute little tie. The pants were made from TLC cotton (2 sheins) on sz 7 needles. That patterncan be found at http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer05/PATTcargo.html . This was a VERY quick knit. I think it took me 4 hours to comeplete. Again, in stead of putting elastic in the waistband, I made a drawstring closure using the leftover yarn from the cardi to make an I-cord. The sizes for both were 18-24 months and fit the baby wonderfully :)
