This cute little number is for the nephew who will be arriving in October. My SIL's baby shower is at the end of the month, so I'm hurrying to finish. I should have plenty of time, but I have not and will not have an entire weekend to myself for a looong time, and the hours at home after work have been short. So far I have the back and one front finished...eeee.

I really love DB Cashmerino. I need to make something for myself in it. But, the yarn is really the only thing about DB that I love, really. Her pattern books drive me mad. No schematics, hard to read row-by-row instructions that leave you crosseyed, and TONS OF ERRORS. I understand the one or two typos, but please. Take this jacket for example. Entire sections were completely left out. The book I have is like a second edition with the errors corrected, but only some. Can't get it right even the second time? If you breeze through her website's pattern revision section, you can tell this is a common occurance. The revisions are in 5 paragraph essay form, dude. For a "high-end" knitting retailer like DB, I find this a huge turnoff. Am I getting what I pay for? This is why I keep hemming and hawing about buying Simply Soft.

By the way, I got the Baby Knits book from the library. Now I'll get off my soapbox.
