It's done! The little man's little outfit is done.
I had a little mishap with the booties. The pattern I used called for US 5 needles and DK weight yarn. Well, I don't have 5s, and I don't have 4s in DPNs, so I figured I would do them on 6. And this yarn is worsted weight.
That idea right there proves that sanity is not achieved while pregnant.
So I worked the "little" booties on size 6s and, well... they weren't so little.

And then I looked at the green pair of booties I had made for Brett. I compared them to the pair I had just made.
Not even remotely close.

These are stinkin' adorable. You're making all of my babeh's clothes when they come along.
So really you should start knitting now so they have a whole closet.
