As the title indicates, I have some good news and some bad news. My friend is having a baby any time now. I knit the baby a tiny cotton cardigan to keep off the evening chill. It took me longer to sew on the buttons and snaps than to knit the entire sweater. This is why I love knitting in the round. Less sewing. The
pattern is from Knitty in the smallest size and without the optional hood.

Now the bad news: I am working on the last edge of my Shetland Lace Stole. As you can see I have to finish a loooong edge.

This is all of the yarn I have left.
Sigh.
