Aloha all!
Started the baby kimono yesterday, so cute I feel I will go into sugar shock! Some questions:
1) Anybody else wonder if the "6 rows" on the upper back were 6 rows total or 6 RS rows? I did both and opted for the 6 RS rows, but was I alone in this confusion?
2) Anybody put this on a newborn baby yet? I am making one exactly to the gauge in the book, and it just seems so tiny. If the baby will fit it, y'all think the baby has, what? Couple weeks in it?
3) Am I going to run out of yarn? (heh: the eternal question!) I am making it newborn size, and I have 217 yards. Has anyone made it with the 244 yards in the book? And if so, did you use both balls of yarn in their entirety? (I'm so running out, yes? Better rip out my swatch now.)
I'm making this with Merino wool for a yet unborn, gender-indeterminate baby of my former college roommate. I fear I have doomed a new mom to handwashing wool and tying little orange ribbons! (I figure it is payback for numerous roommate crimes that I won't get into here...)
Took Suzann's suggestion to do the yarn over two stitches in: Great idea!
I am thankful and amazed at the amount of knitters out here working on these patterns. You all are amazing, creative, enthusiastic inspirations to me.
Thanks for any advice!
