More Me-Mades in progress for baby Finn...
A BSJ! For the uninitiated, a BSJ = a Baby Surprise Jacket. It's a classic pattern by Elizabeth Zimmerman (aka the Opinionated Knitter) from the late 1960's. The pattern is written in a conversational style and makes for some real interpretive decisions when knitting. It's a real departure from my own pattern writing style, but it's a very clever pattern, and I'm happy to give it a whirl.
I remember looking at this pattern years ago when I first started knitting, and found it so intimidating I never attempted it. But, now that I've got a bit more experience... well, I can see why the old me was confused, but I'm a lot more fearless now, and understand the structure of the shape EZ was creating.

Love those colour combinations - it'll make a grogeous jacket!
This will turn out great! I think, every baby should wear a BSJ :)
