The baby sweater

The pattern came from this book:

The baby does not come with it though :( 

The back: 

The front panels (there are 2 that I knit at the same time):

Sleeves:

I knit the sleeves at the same time too.  It's the best way to ensure they are exactly the same length. 

Then sew together: 

At times it feels like a big mess that will never amount to a sweater:

And then it works:

I still need a tie closure but otherwise it is done!!! Yeah!!!!
