5 Hour Baby Sweater... Sorta!

In an attempt to "get ahead" on my knitting for babies that are due next fall and winter, and of undisclosed gender, I have been knitting sweaters that would fit into either gender wardrobes. I have placed buttonholes on both the left and right sides of the sweater fronts so that the buttons can be added easily at a later date. 
This little blue sweater was meant to be gender neutral... it looks a bit feminine to me. I used a basic 5 hour sweater pattern with some modifications.

Baby Surprise Jacket for a Surprise Baby

We recently found out that I have another great-great niece or nephew on the way. So what better for a surprise baby but a BSJ (Baby Surprise Jacket). My sister Spooky (the surprise baby's great grandma) gave me a few skeins of Red Heart SUPER SAVER multi color yarn, so I decided to make the baby's sweater out of it. Another surprise is that there may be more than one surprise baby on the way... TWINS! We should find out in a few weeks. But to be on the safe side, I will start another sweater soon.
