I bet you'd like to see how the real baby "Davy" liked his sweater ...
Hurrah!! Success!! Happy baby in a handknit!
When I visited them in Chicago back in April (which should give you a sense of what a backlog of posts I have, sheesh) the sweater fit little Davy perfectly. It was soft and stretchy, just right for this wiggly 6 month stage.
Best of all, his parents really do use the sweater. It became the go-to cardigan to grab when buckling him into the stroller/carseat thing. The wide sleeves made it easy to put on, and it was still big enough to fit over a couple layers of pj's, shirts, etc. I snapped this with my iPhone the first night I got there -- I was so tickled to see them using the sweater that I wanted to send Mountain Man a photo.
As for the vintage book that was the inspiration for the sweater (see the last post for that story), little Davy liked that, too. See him happy in his mama's lap as she reads him the story ...
so happy he wants to get a little closer ...
a little closer ...
CHOMP!!

I would bet that's not the first time a baby has "tasted" that book. Well done with the inspiration and the baby-cardi.
{grin - as I type this, I can see the black/white dog on the red couch around the comments window. He looks comfy but a little sad. Will you knit him/her a cardigan too?} ;-)
So cute! I would say that he really liked it!
I just finished a sweater myself.
Two thumbs up for the one that you have done.
And that baby is just too cute!
