Hobbes Jacket (Baby Surprise Jacket #1)
Going to class every weekday has meant a lot of bus knitting time. I get through about 3 half-hour podcasts a day -- it's not quite 90 minutes of knitting time, because I don't always knit while I'm not actually on a bus. (It's Seattle; sometimes it's raining.)
So in addition to the This Is A Triumph wrap sweater, I have completed a baby surprise jacket that I'm calling the Hobbes Jacket:
Yarn used: Microspun leftovers! Black, white, and mango. Needles used: 4mm.
I hate sewing on buttons, but for this project I was willing. ^_^ (I have another one coming, too, for which I'll need to sew on another five buttons. Someday I will do frog enclosures instead.) Back in the '80s there used to be a device that would automagically attach buttons for you. I wonder if that still exists (and how it would work on yarncrafted projects).
The sheep posed near the Hobbes Jacket is Meredith Rodney McSheep, named for Rodney McKay of Stargate: Atlantis. I'm not sure he really likes being so near something so orange, but perhaps the fact that it's mango (really!) and not citrus will appease him. What do you think, Rodney?
