I purchased the pattern and yarn for this in November 2008, just after it was released. I also bought the pattern and yarn for Baby Yours. The intention was to knit Baby Yours for a forthcoming baby of unknown sex and Baby Mine for the older sister. Then as is often the way, life happened and the yarn dropped to the bottom of the stash.
I added the two patterns to the 11 in 11 list as I really wanted to make them. I figured that babies the right size would come along to claim them once I'd completed them.
It was a good pattern to knit, easy to follow, and I'm really pleased with the finished cardigan. I did have to knit the sleeves twice as I picked up a different size needle for the body, and found I preferred the look of the body to that of the sleeves. So, I ripped back and re knit the sleeves - a happy accident as I think the finished item is better for the size smaller needle.
I chose some contrasting grey buttons from John Lewis which I think finished off this cute knit nicely.
