Just attached the buttons and sewed up the seams. I'm very satisfied with this little project, and it will soon be on its way to keep an infant warm in Afghanistan.

VERY nice!!!

Afghanistan? Is this for A4A? I've done a few things for that group before.

Charity work is always SO fulfilling...and knowing that someone is going to be nice and warm and VERY appreciative...

Great job!

Actually, I'm sending it to

Actually, I'm sending it to my cousin, who is currently stationed on a field operations base a ways northeast of Kabul. I'm sure he'll know a local or two who could benefit from this and from a hat I'm sending along. It's not much, but I figure it will at least help someone.

It's Elizabeth Zimmermann's

It's Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Surprise Jacket. It's in her Knitting Workshop and I think also in The Opinionated Knitter. EZ books should be in every knitter's library, IMO.
