So, without too much comment (because this math in front of me isn't going to do itself, though I wish it would), some photos of my Milo modeling the sweaters I made for the Nonlinear Twins
The sweater pattern is Necco Wafer from the spring 2009 issue of Twist Collective. The yarn is Knit Picks CotLin worked on a US5 needle. I made the 12 month size (so it's a but snug on Milo now, but will fit the twins next winter-ish), and followed the pattern closely for the blue sweater. The purple one is different only in that I did 4-row stripes rather than 2-row stripes, since it halved the number of ends I had to sew in. (On the blue sweater, there were FORTY ENDS ON EACH SLEEVE). I also made the purple sweater in the round to the armpits rather than making it in two pieces and seaming. I don't feel like babies need the structure that seams provide.
Other than the ever-present feeling of being rushed and busy, things are going really well in our house. In truth, I've never been happier. But then, look at this photo, taken 15 minutes from our house, where we were picking raspberries.
How could I not be happy?

You're back! With pictures! Hoorah!
Love the sweater - Milo is a fine model. Wish I could say I was knitting anything but it's hard to find time!
He looks good in that sweater!
I just learned that necco wafers are old - like, civil war soldiers ate them old.
