It's Okay to Knit with Wool in June...

...when it's 50-something degrees outside and raining for 18th day in a row.

I felt guilty about missing the baby shower deadline for a sweater for a friend's upcoming little boy, so I got cracking so I at least will have this sweater coat ready by the time he gets here.

 

The fabric has turned out a lot more dense than I imagined.   And plagued by too-small newborn stuff, I made this baby knit bigger than usual.  Maybe too big, it turns out.  I have begun to suspect that a two year old might be able to snuggle into this.

I have only the border and button to finish.  Actually, though, I like the look of the bottom edge sans border.

I kinda like the bottom edge as-is, too. And, with babies, bigger is always better -- they grow into things, but they definitely don't shrink!
