Baby Surprise Jacket

I joined a knitalong to make Elizabeth Zimmerman's famous Baby Surprise Jacket.  A jacket like any other, nothing special, except that it is knitted in one piece (almost, only 1 seam) So how do you knit in different directions at once? I was curious so I purchased the yarn and started knitting. I had no idea what I was doing and even after casting off I was not sure this was going to be a jacket.

But then you fold it this way and that way and tadaaaa:

New outfit

It's getting cold, baby girl is growing out of her clothes, so I got to work:
A little tunic/dress.

I spotted this dress in my local yarn store, got the name of the pattern and a hank of yummie Malabrigo sock yarn. An easy knit, comfortable to wear (not to mention easy to put on!) and quite cute. It's even cuter with pink leggins....

And an outfit made with another type of needles: those of a sewing machine
