A Little More Knitting

I'm still not knitting as much as I once was, but I do have a little something to show.  I'm still working small projects on larger needles, so a little baby sweater named "Presto Chango" fit right in.

Now I'm a fan of avoiding unnecessary seaming, but I think this particular pattern could benefit from some photos or diagrams that give you and idea how the construction is going to work out.  This is not what I expected a little sweater to turn into along the way:

3-sided bib maybe?  No, a baby sweater?  Interesting...

But I followed the text of the pattern somewhat blindly and ended up with something that looks like it should, once you fold it over.

Certainly looks more like a sweater once it's been folded
I didn't end up with the number of button holes the pattern intended for the center panel, but hopefully it will work fine with 6 buttons instead of 8.

Now it just needs a good soak so that the edges aren't so curly.  I don't have a lot of good seaming experience as it is and I don't want to fight to line things up any more than I have to.

So yes, I'm still alive and still picking up the knitting every now and then.
