I heavily modified the pattern this time. Instead of working the lace edging I decided to use the picot bind off for all of the edges. I mainly did that for time purposes. I was trying to get it done quickly, at it had already taken me longer than I was hoping. I am afraid it might be a wee bit too short though. The lace edging gives about 2-3 more inches on the end and I didn't account for that when binding off. I should have added more stockinette. But Ben said she was small, so hopefully it won't be a problem.
Pattern: Baby Jacket adapted from Lace Edge Cardigan from Natural Knits for Babies & Moms by Louisa Harding
Yarn: Ella Rae Baby Cotton in "Peony" - 1 ball and a little more
Needles: Body - US 5/3.75mm & 6/4mm Brittany wood straights
Sleeves - US 6/4mm Susan Bates aluminum double points
YTD Mileage: This sweater weighs in at 2.1 oz which gives about 131 yards. Making my new YTD mileage 2.93 miles! Goodness. It's already July and that's all I've got. Guess I better knit faster.

I think it is just beautiful. You do such nice work. Sometimes I wish I could have a little girl just so I could have a teeny-tiny sweater for her to wear. :) Way, way just kidding.
You did a very nice job.
