Minutes after I told my husband we were expecting, we had this conversation:
Him: "So, are you going to knit something for the baby?"
Me: "But we don't know if it is a boy or a girl."
Him: "You could knit a brown sweater."
How could I refuse a suggestion like that? I did almost immediately start a brown baby sweater, but with pregnancy fatigue and pregnancy brain, I didn't get around to sewing on the buttons and photographing it until this week. So, here it is, the baby's official first sweater...
Knitting details are here. My major advice is to be careful with superwash yarn. I didn't block
my swatch and the sweater developed an unexpectedly floppy texture after washing. But no harm done.

so sweet! Congratulations. :)
Wow, that is the best baby sweater I think I've ever seen. Did you hear that we are having a girl? I'm really looking forward to meeting your little one! and to seeing you both!
