Neapolitan BSJ

Baby Surprise Jacket
worked on this during knitting on Wednesday night, and the increases just didn’t look right: my marker was in the wrong place! And I didn’t do the increases for the cuff section correctly, so I ripped and started again. This is so much better, I’m using tips from the BSJ wiki page here on ravelry…

Baby booties
A quick knit because I needed them for a baby shower. This was my first time using very small needles, and my first time making booties at all. They turned out good, even though I accidentally modified the pattern slightly!
