Remember this?

I snapped a shot of my friend's baby, wearing the "Childhood" cardigan from Knitty that I made last November. Isn't he cuuuute?
Who we actually are: We are female graduate students and postdocs in a male dominated field, physics. We are also a working computer scientist. And we all knit. We knit to escape from our stressful working lives, and because we love seeing something beautiful coming from her own bare hands that does not need to be defended or reviewed.

I finally finished "Childhood" from Knitty. I used Lemongrass and Maize Mission Falls cotton. Unfortunately, since I'm a bit of a n00b, the finished dimensions didn't really work out. The striped bands at the front are supposed to overlap. If I did that, I think that I would end up choking my friend's baby. So I found some metal clasps and I think that it still looks pretty nice. I think that it ended up longer than it was wide since the pattern asks you to knit for a certain length before shaping the armholes. Clearly I screwed up the gauge across. Oh, well... For a first attempt at something with pieces that I had to sew together, I'm pretty happy with the result.
