From now on, I'm knitting for me

And to start off, I am knitting something in brown and orange, in celebration of that photo of you when you were about three, wearing brown corduroy dungarees and a lovely brown and orange cardi.

It was going to be a cardigan, and then I decided to make it a jumper to save on the the two front bits. After some more thought, it is now to be a tank top, to save on knitting sleeves. I really hate sewing up, can you tell?

I am presuming that with the arm holes I can just pick up stitches and do some ribbing as a border and that with the front, I just split it in two at some point and then again pick up and rib a border? And advice gratefully received.

oh. baby's aren't real people.

hmmm that statement is (a) not true, (b) could get me in quite a bit of trouble and (c) not even believed by me. except perhaps in the context of knitted clothes.....
