I've just finished a newborn vest (wouldn't you believe it, while CNT was gone I found time to knit :giggle: ), it stills needs a button but I'll upload a pic when I replace my camera batteries!

Tanya, Jake's vest is lovely :wine:

I wish there had been a bit more guidance on the number of stitches to pick up - just a rough idea would have been handy, I had to redo the neck ribbing because I hadn't done enough first time round. I'll count mine and add them on here in case anyone would find it useful for reference.

I found the same on the neck ribbing too and had to re-do it. I'd have never gotten it over LO's head otherwise! It looks so small to me, but then again that might be simply because I've forgotten how small newborns are. :D

Have kept on going thanks to all your encouragement! have got to finish the back and do ribbing. Think I just got a bit bored as just doing a block colour and doesnt knit up so impressively as my last project (springtime in hollis)

I dont use any photo sharing websites so dont think i can post pics

I finally cast on last night :) Am using DK rather than worsted so my gauge is 6st/inch and have sized up to the 4T rather than the 2T - half way up the body, so fc I should have it done in a couple more days :)

I may actually be able to cast on shortly as I decided to make a couple for Imogens school uniform and I have bought the pattern :thumbsup:
