My First BSJ
Just cast this off... still need to block it-
Only three days on needle!
Picked up the yarn in Gove City, Kansas.
Did I really just type that?
Now I just need for someone to have a baby!
Peace to all!

Great job, I love the
Great job, I love the colors. Haven't made one of these, but it makes me wonder how it would work for an adult sized one...

There are a few books and a DVD with the pattern in them as well.

Excellent job! ...and yeah,
Excellent job!
...and yeah, as much as I completely adore EZ and all of her works, it's rather...ummmm...an interesting adventure to blindly go at it the very first time.

It was pretty scary- I was about 3/4 through with the pattern before I turned it, and had it fall into place... before then, I hadn't been able to see how it was gonna come together...

Boy howdy...is that the truth. I had to take it on blind faith (and a couple of rip outs) before it made sense. Once it did, I had a "D'oh...so THAT'S how it works." moment. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

and then once you have that "aha" moment, did you catch yourself laying it down and putting it together every couple of rows? I do... and I keep showing my wife... "hey look.. isn't this cool?!" She's not so impressed anymore....

Only a couple of times to make sure it was all still lining up the right way. LOL Then I said to myself, "Cut that out! If it doesn't work out, you can always rip - yet again!" -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

Beautiful Job... Not that I'm at all surprised! :-) It really is a great pattern once you get the hang of it, huh?
As for a baby, well... we're announcing now... We're expecting our 2nd in January. Sophia is going to be a big sister...

Very nice. I want to do the Adult version, also. However...other projects spring to the forefront. I own all of EZ's books except for "Opinionated Knitter". Must remedy that. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Wow, those colors are great.
Wow, those colors are great. I am knitting my first BSJ now as a knitalong with another knitter. I chose to use solid red from Spud and Chloe yarn (sweater) which is a dk/worsted wgt depending on how you look at it. I am using a number 4 needle as that is the one that gave me 5 stitches to the inch. As a knitter for many years I felt it was about time I tried knitting one. I am doing the baby one so I can understand it. I would next want to try doing a size for a 4 yr old - something the child will grow into and then graduate to a adult size for myself. Thanks for the inspiration boost.

That is so cute! Nice
That is so cute! Nice colours. I did my first BSJ a few months back. I was also surprised at how quick it went. I'll be doing another soon as my former teaching partner is pregers again.

Actually, I owe you a thank you. I think my mind would have blown up if I just tried to follow EZ's directions. Your and Tim TenClay's typed out directions were life savers. Thank you!
Nice color combo! I just did
Nice color combo! I just did one of these this past winter, isn't it a great pattern once you start to see it come together? I want to try the adult version Elizabeth Zimmerman has written out in her "The Opionated Knitter".
Stitch on!
