Luckily I didn&#8217;t plan for it to be newborn-sized!<\/p>\n<p>This is the second time I&#8217;ve knit this pattern, and I still love it.  However, I have learned three very important lessons:<br \/>\n1. Baby gifts should generally be knit out of something heavier than sock yarn.  Otherwise they do not qualify as &#8220;quick knits&#8221;.<br \/>\n2. Navy blue (which is what the entire back of the sweater is) is a really boring color to knit.<br \/>\n3. The only thing more tedious than knitting navy blue yarn is sewing it up.  Seriously, I thought I was going to become permanently cross-eyed trying to weave the seams.<\/p>\n<p>But it turned out so cute I can&#8217;t be really all that frustrated with it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finished sewing the buttons on Devan the second this afternoon.
