So here is the back of Jules, as well as a detail from the hem. This is some tedious knitting, my friends. It's like making a felted item, only with finer yarn and it's as big as a sweater. Annoying, folks, you hear me? It took me two weeks to get through the knitting on this, and I am just not up for casting on for the front. Doing the heart cable blocks aren't so bad; it's the two feet of mostly stockinette above it that is making me crazy. I think I might just take a break and work on instant gratification projects for the next few days...I actually have some tiny knitting to get on the sticks -- my new nephew, G, was born on Sunday in San Diego, and I think that, while California babies do not need sweaters, they do need....
...stash busting, leftover-using baby booties! Note recent addition to knitting library acquired during ongoing book-buying binge. More new books to appear in future posts.

Congrats on the new newphew ... yes he needs booties. He also needs to get used to having an aunt who is a knitter.
