I was working on a February baby sweater, knit for a friend of mine who is about to have a baby girl. The yarn is a naturally-dyed DK wool from Table Rock Llamas, picked up last fall at the Taos Wool Festival.
I followed the pattern reasonably closesly, although, as you know if you've knit it yourself, her pattern is vague enough that it requires a bit of creative interpretation. Here are a few of my minor changes: larger gauge and size, eyelets around the yoke ... hmm, I think that's all I can remember at the moment
I love this little pattern, and I think it was a sweet match for this sunset-colored yarn. I'd like to make one for myself for this winter!

What beautiful color combinations! I would never have imagined rosey pink with orange and yellow. It's so warm and soft. I really like your addition of the eyelets, too. Lightens up the yoke.
Great sweater. I love the eyelet yoke component! Vague patterns frighten me! You are a wonderful knitter. That baby will be a little dream wearing it.
The sweater is gorgeous in those colors and will look so sweet on.
As for Oak Creek Canyon....oooooo I'm so jealous. What a pretty place. We camped there years ago (14? 15?)
You've just got to love it when knitting and life come together like that.
How beautiful!!!!!
