More baby knitting

It seems like I never get to make anything larger then size 4. My husband requested a couple of sweaters last winter and I only had enough time to crank something out on my LK-140. I've purchased a Philosopher Kit at Sheep and Wool festival this year and was going to make my husband a pullover as a gift for our anniversary. Guess when is our anniversary? ... In 3 weeks! Did I start the sweater? Nope. Instead, I started a cardigan as a baby gift for a friend (the baby is almost 2 years old, I think it's time!) I've adapted this pattern :

to work from Kool Kidz Chunky from Sirdar in one piece:




On the other hand, most of other projects are FO's, so I should be able to get to the Philosopher some time soon.
FOs for today: St. Anton from Dale of Norway (not blocked yet) and

Devan from Knitty :


I used Blauband Special Ringel for the front and sleeves and Baby Ull from Dale of Norway for the back and bands. I made a hat to match and will post pics and instructions tomorrow.
(By the way, everything was made on LK-140)

Long forgotten WIP: alpaca shawl from Peruvian alpaca purchased at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival in 2003
