something green

I started on one of the baby outfits I've been putting off. I took one look at the pattern, which has been translated from german, and realized I better get cracking, because it doesn't make a whole lotta sense. These are the colors I'm using. I'm just subbing varigated yarn for the intarsia, and the body will be solid, that sage color. I hope it turns out cute. I'm making two, the other one in shades of navy and goldish-brown. That one's for a boy, the sage is up for grabs, they're opting not to find out. (which I think is so much more fun anyway!) Both babies are due in May. This was the cutest little baby pattern for summer I could find. It's from Rebecca Baby&Kids no. 16. The yarn is sonata from Elann, which is unbelivably cheap, but so far, not very soft. But it comes in a huge array of colors. And they'll match the pattern yarn to the solids for you. Can't complain, yarn for two cute baby outfits for like 20 bucks. I'm hoping I can soften it up with a little blocking. Cotton usually will.
If you guys want to all knit the same project together- I'm up for that too! I just had to get started on this! But robots and turtles sound good too- I've got a ton of green in my stash (sorry sweater girl! I'll send you some!)
