Im done with the first sleeve (garment is knit all in one piece and flat) and about 1/2 an inch into the 3 inches that are for the middle portion before the 2nd sleeve . so im assuming im like 30 to 40 percent done. Will I make it in a month??? To be continued (will be posting pics soon)

Im just so Proud!!! I started this a few months ago but got stuck at the sleeves. With a little (or more like alot :0) ) of help from my new friends at Ravelry.Com I finally finished!!!! Also thanks a bunch to Sockpixi for the pattern!! I was thinking to much of the color when I started I was just so excited to start that I just used any color I had (but its cashmere so its super soft) So im just thinking of adding some white plush yarn to the edges and around the cuffs to kinda brighten it up since it is for a baby. Hmmm maybe some matching baby mittens :-) ..good thaught...
