What has gotten finished...among other things....is Henry's Packer Sweater. Baby Cashmerino is a lovely, lovely yarn to knit. It had the right colors. Debbie Bliss had a baseball jacket pattern that could be adapted....with the help of Knitbird software and the logo from the Green Bay Packer's website, I was good to go.

The sweater actually closes with snaps. The buttons are decorative. Finding the buttons was a drama. This was the third set I picked out. Green buttons were oddly not possible to find on-line or in the store. Go figure. Of course, I do live in Minnesota. Maybe in my homeland behind the Cheese Curtain it would be another tale entirely.
Intarsia is something at which I need practice. Working the charts is a humbling experience. The end result is fine. I am working my way up to a cowgirl sweater for my niece Mallory. I am itching to get that going.

There is leftover yarn from this project. There will be a matching hat forthcoming. Craftsy had a great blog today about sizing hats for babies and toddlers. It was just what I need to get started on the next project.
Before I start ANYTHING else, I need to finish the wedding afghan. I think I have about 30 more rows. Let us hope for some good trash TV this weekend. That will make it happen.
