back to kntting

I actually was knitting Friday night in the hospital while waiting for Tj to arrive. I was working on the Radiating Star Blanket that I am bored with - not the pattern but with the yucky Lion Brand yarn that is too thick and stiff.
Last night I started the Baby Owl Vest http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/owl-baby-vest that is not boring. This Knit Picks Comfy Sport is very soft and the Cashew color is very boyish. This is made in the round which I love! I only have the ribbing and a few rows of stockinette done but think it should be an adorable vest for the baby. What size he will be in the fall is tricky as he is so big already at 9 pounds! The pattern says 9-12 months so think it should be big enough. He has a closet full of adorable clothes from all the showers but wonder if some will even fit him!
