This Is A Triumph.
Well, it will be when it's done.

Yarn used: Lion Brand Microspun in Royal Blue and Mango. Needles: 4mm.
The Mango I bought doesn't quite match, and the color change is suspect:
But it's the best I can do, and it's good enough, and it's actually fairly hard to notice in person unless you're under some really awful florescent light.
I forgot to introduce the sheep on Tuesday, though I think you've seen these two before. These are the official traveling sheep -- PicoÜber and Reclining Sheep. They've been to England, New Zealand, Canada, Las Vegas, and Indiana. :) They're sized appropriately for carryon bags, and never complain about having the hotel rooms to themselves.
I have, at this point, done all the seaming (and let me tell you how proud I am of it -- it's fantastic) -- all that's left is an I-cord border for the back neck and little I-cord ties. I'm going to be putting the dual-orange side inside, so that it won't show when the baby's wearing it. Um, no, I still don't know what baby! Ah well. It's been fun to knit.
That said, bleh, stockinette! I won't be doing another baby project in stockinette anytime soon. I can see why Elizabeth Zimmermann favors garter stich so much -- I think I'll probably do a Baby Surprise jacket in garter in the near future.
