I'd heard so much about Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket that I decided to make one using the "instructions" in her Knitting Workshop book. [Her instructions are notoriously cryptic.]
It really was fast and fun to make. The color changes resulted in a lot of finishing work to weave in the ends -- so the actual knit time was less than the finishing time (note to self - next time, fewer color changes). Knit from about 5 skeins of Mission Falls 1824 Wool, it's quite heavy; definitely more a jacket than sweater.

Too bad I don't have anyone to give it to right now. [B-Dad has actually commented that I appear to make things for the sole purpose of having blog fodder....] I'm sure someone will have a baby soon.
