Baby Jacket

I am not sure that I have ever knitted a baby garment before, but I had so much fun knitting this one! It is a gift for my embroidery teacher who is leaving us today to have her first baby. She knows she is having a girl, so I was able to chose a gorgeous shade of lavender. I naively thought a small baby jacket would knit up in no time, but I swear it was as much work as a full size one!

    it is very cute but looks very difficult to make to me a beginner knitter - but then I have been a beginner at knitting for many years now - if I just would put aside the quilting for a little while maybe I could learn!

    My mother once told me that she expecting making my baby clothes to be dead easy, given how much dress making she had done. I think she made one garment, and then nothing else until I was a toddler!
