No one disputes that EZ was a genius. And prolific. A prolific genius. And I've been yearning to knit her Baby Surprise Jacket for quite some time, but didn't get around to it until now. Which made me wonder: Was EZ on acid when she wrote this pattern? It's amazing, but so unlike anything else I've ever knit before I can't fathom how she visualized this.
This yarn was Hacho by Mirosol, a nice 100% merino sport-weight sock yarn. I picked it up three skeins of this colorway at a Tuesday Morning and haven't known what to knit with it until now, because I don't knit socks with 100% wool yarns. It suited my purpose well though, and makes a cute little baby sweater.
I tried to crochet buttons for this sweater, but the button ended up too large for the little yo, k2tog buttonholes so buttons will have to wait. It's almost summer here though, so by the time it's cold, the baby may have outgrown this. So then I'll have to knit another sweater. . .
