Baby Sweater for Eliza Bell

This sweater and booties were made for sweet Eliza Bell who was born at the beginning of this week to good friends of ours up in Celo. This is a rascally baby that showed soooo very many signs that she was going to arrive early and then 3 weeks later showed up almost a week after her due date. Just when you think you think you have things all figured out right?

Sweater took me longer than I thought it would. Beautiful pattern was slow going keeping track. Love that it is knit all in one piece so cleverly as Elizabeth Zimmerman always provides. The booties too were knit all in one piece making for a fun puzzle.
