Bo using the "Better Bind Off" method by purl beehttp://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2008/1/5/whits-knits-a-better-bind-off-tutorial.html
Weave in ends and sew buttons on. Block if needed, but this is meant to stretch to fit snug.

Projects

Luke thought it would be a good idea for me to knit some toys for the babies in our congregation. I made two Kate's and one Sheldon, they came out awesome!






And I finished a 36" sq. baby blanket for one of Luke's cousin's wife.

On the needles is the Camden sweater for my SIL, but I'm doing King Charles Brocade instead of bobbles. I've got about 8" of it done and I'm wicked jealous of it (even though I've already got one!). I used Shine Sport for the yarn and it's going to be one soft sweater. And also something for my brother (but I can't say what it is because if I do and he finds out he's going to say "I don't really wear those" and I'll say "too bad").
