Aside from a short nap here and there, pretty much all I did during the transit was knit this Baby Surprise Jacket. It is made from my <a href="http://burgeonings.blogspot.com/2008/03/bark-handspun.html">handspun bark yarn (dyed by Pigeonroof Studios)</a>, which is a sport weight yarn, and I think I used size 4 needles for this one.<br /><br />I literally think every woman I know between the ages of 28 and 35 is currently pregnant, so I anticipate knitting many more Baby Surprise Jackets in the near future. I'm in love with this one though, because the handspun merino-silk yarn is so beautiful, almost too luxurious for a baby! But you know, nothing is too good for certain babies.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_v58RzNwukfg/SAeQOrQUerI/AAAAAAAAAKc/vg4DEnU4YJM/s1600-h/BarkBSJ3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190275677371529906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_v58RzNwukfg/SAeQOrQUerI/AAAAAAAAAKc/vg4DEnU4YJM/s320/BarkBSJ3.JPG" border="0" /></a>sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11927010455076215079noreply@blogger.com
