Look! I finally completed a sweater!

A baby sweater, that is.  A friend's shower is this Friday. 

I'm pleased with how the stripes mostly match up even though the sweater is pieced, rather than knit in the round.



I have learned:

1.  That Sockotta is much better for an easy-care baby sweater than for socks. (It's pretty much 50/50 wool/cotton so it's thick for a sock yarn and not sproingy enough.)

2.  Do NOT use snaps on a knitted garment.  The knitting resents it mightily.  Use real buttons or hooks-and-eyes instead.
