This one is for a work friend. It’s a boy. The baby’s a boy. Clearly, this is a cardigan. I whipped this up in super-quick time, then took flippin’ ages to get buttons (or, in this case, realise that I had stash buttons from the infamous turquoise cardi et al) and sew it together. Luckily, although he’s a boy, thus prone to rapid growth, it apparently still fits Nathaniel.

It’s gone over well. This was Lily’s verdict.

And, having finally got the spangly finished item in the mail, I immediately opened a drawer and found this.

Yes boys and girls, that’s an already completely finished BSJ I had prepared earlier and could have sent off THE DAY HE WAS BORN.

I just need someone else to have a baby boy now so that this effort hasn’t been totally wasted. In your own time, girls.
