Hi there,
After some long delays in the knitting, I finally finished a little owlet vest for a friend's baby who was born over 2 months ago! And just in time for another friend who was visiting to play "courier" to get it to the little one. Unfortunately, because I did the finishing touches in a mad rush, I had to take pictures around midnight, and they didn't come out all that well... But you get the general idea :)

This is the second time I've made this vest for a little baby. I just love how it looks on babies... I think a sweater vest makes little babies look like tiny old men :) And because there aren't any sleeves, if I make the body a little longer, I've been told that they are wearable for a reasonably long time (well, for a baby item anyway).
In some of the photos above, I think you can see there's a little bit of bunching on the top fronts... blocking mostly fixed it. I would've liked to rip it back and do the ribbing again but I just ran out of time. Oh well, I guess I've lived and learnt :)
Specs
Pattern: owlet vest
Size: 3-6 months
