The pictures look lovely in the entry below. It was easy to knit and fun to fold up (sewing not so much, I did a whip stitch because I couldn't figure out anything neater or better). The problem is that I skipped the first step. The first step of any knitting pattern because I'm cavalier like that. I didn't do a gauge swatch. The picture looks good, but the sweater is itsy, bitsy, and certainly not normal American baby sized. But that's ok because this wasn't intended for a baby anyway, this one was about the process. And check out the process of folding it up!
The sweater is inside out with the bottom edge at the bottom of the screen. I try to highlight the little neck shaping area on the left and the button holes on the right. I apologize for the weird movements and odd color changes, but it was my first movie with my new camera.
Now that I know the tricks of the pattern and just found out that a grad school friend's wife just had a baby, I'll probably be casting on another of these as soon as I finish the Summer Solstice socks (which should be this evening with any luck... well, free time).

Very cool! I've never made a BSJ, so it was cool to see what all the talk about folding it up was about. What a fantastic idea, huh?
I like your new camera photos, too. They're beautiful!

Video! How cool!
And that is really small -- but you could give it to a doll-owner, maybe?
