The baby outfit is done!
The baby outfit is done!
I'm pleased with it, but the sleeves look a little short to me. Still, I haven't been around a newborn for a long time, so it's probably fine.
My zippers arrived! However none of them are exactly right. So here is where you all help me :)
I'm leaning towards C or B. Help me decide. I think I like C better, but I'm not sure. Last night E looked all wrong, but today it doesn't look too bad!
Just email me, (addy over there -->) or leave me a comment.
DH found this story on an Australian news site today.
I can think of worse ways to spend my twilight years :)

B or E ! E will be the least conspicuous once sewn in.
Posted by: Emma at February 8, 2005 09:58 AMI like zipper B if the yarn it should have matched is the lighter color, I like E if it should have matched the dark color of the sleeves and collar.
The baby set is adorable!
Posted by: Julie at February 8, 2005 10:06 AMMy first instinct is zipper B. :)
That baby set is absolutely perfect!
that baby set is cute as can be
as for the zip.. E hands down if it were my sweater that is the one i would want
Posted by: Elizabeth at February 8, 2005 11:33 AME E E E E or E. :)
Baby set is soooo cute! E E E
did I mention, E? :) L
Posted by: Lisa in Oregon at February 8, 2005 11:35 AMNo surprise here, as in most things, Lisa and I agree on this one:
E E E E E E E or E.
That baby outfit is DARLING!
Posted by: Norma at February 8, 2005 12:08 PMI am thinking B..I like it it goes well
The baby outfit is GORGEOUS! Sure it will go down well.
I had to laugh when I saw the link to the nursing home thing! I just posted that on my Blog before reading yours!

Posted by: Katt at February 8, 2005 12:11 PMlove the baby outfit! e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e all the way!
Posted by: lynette at February 8, 2005 01:20 PMI think you should go for E. I love the baby outfit.
Posted by: Nichola at February 8, 2005 01:21 PMI vote for E, but it kind of depends on the actual lighting. I can't wait to see it finished.
I like the baby outfit! Great stripes.
Posted by: Carpe Acum at February 8, 2005 04:16 PMIf the pic is true to colour I would go either B or E, probably E more as it would provide a good contrast & matches the sleeves pretty well.
Posted by: Katie at February 8, 2005 04:52 PMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! It would show up the least, like other have said. But that's only if the colours are spot on. I reckon zippers should sit and listen, not speak..If you know what I mean? :P
Baby set is very cute!! I love that little hatty!
The baby outfit is soooo adorable, I can clearly remember Geoff and I laughing when our Babies would lift their arms up and they would barely reach their ears, so obviously babies have short arms. And as for the zip, definately B :)

Posted by: Wendy at February 8, 2005 10:17 PMMe too. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. ;-)
Posted by: Steph at February 8, 2005 10:40 PME, second pic is B. Baby stuff looks like a fun knit. Too bad no one I know is expecting.
Posted by: Lex at February 8, 2005 11:12 PME then B. The baby outfit is great. Looks like a fun knit.
Posted by: Alexis at February 8, 2005 11:14 PMAt first I said E. Now I think B. E is a bit more contrasting. B, I think blends better.
Love the baby set.
The baby set is adorable!! I have a 2 month old grandson that would look adorable in it if you REALLY don't think the sleeves are quite right...:)
Zipper?? EEEEEEE all the way!
EEEEE also. It will fade into the sweater and not jump out and scream, "I'm home-made!"
Posted by: Kate at February 9, 2005 02:20 AMI think E, too! It may be the photo but it sure looks good from here.
Posted by: margene at February 9, 2005 02:44 AMB or E, depending on whethe ryou want it to blend into the sweater (B) or show and contrast and still match the sleeves (E)
The best way to see what you prefer would probably be to pin the sip in place and try the weater ton and see how you like it.

What an adorable baby set! That's one lucky newborn! I think zipper E will blend the best, as in not stand out since it's a shade darker. However, if you're hoping the zipper will pop a bit, I would go with B or C. All depends on the look you're going after.
Posted by: Evelyn at February 9, 2005 04:04 AMAssuming my computer display is showing me the colors correctly I vote for E. I know it doesn't match but none of them match and E looks to be the most 'neutral' to me. It will draw the least amount of attention to the fact that it doesn't match. Sue
Posted by: Sue at February 9, 2005 05:34 AMThat baby outfit is SO CUTE! You knit a winner there, Miss Donna.
I like zippers b, c and e. I'm leaning more towards b because it seems to blend in more with the body of the cardi, but c matches with both the body AND the neck. Hmm...a definite toss up between b and c. Based upon zipper teeth alone, I may go for b. I've added zippers that contrast in color a bit to the knit and loved how it looks. None of those zippers are an exact match, but zippers rarely do match with the body of the garment! In any event, you can't lose with b, c or e because all look good against the cardi.
Posted by: Becky at February 9, 2005 06:06 AMDefinately E for me. :-)
Posted by: Steph at February 9, 2005 06:31 AMI like B the best. Now that we all confused you even more... what are you going to pick? ;)
Posted by: Karen at February 9, 2005 09:47 AME for me
Posted by: Nathalie at February 14, 2005 07:26 PM
first, the baby outfit is *adorable*! you are making me want to take up baby knitting even though there are no babies in my life to knit for!
second, i really like b, c, and e. i think that i would put the zippers in this order: b, e, c.
fear not... you are such a good and prolific seamstress that i am sure the others shall not go to waste!
