By request, I'm posting a picture of a sweater I made for my nephew this past year.
Details:
Pattern - Cow Cardigan in Kids' Country Knits by Debbie Bliss
Yarn - Rowan Wool/Cotton
Size - 3-6 months
Needles - US 2 (I think - it calls for US 3 and I usually have to go down a size to make gauge. It's been awhile and I didn't take notes.)
Modifications - Only with the cows. I made some of them almost fully black and brown. In the pattern, all the cows look the same.
This is the second time I've made this sweater and it comes out super cute. You can't tell in the picture very well, but some cows are black and some dark brown. The buttons are little tractors except for the top (a cow) and bottom (a rooster). I've made several patterns from this book. The patterns are for newborns through age 5. I know I will make more in the future (including the cow sweater!).

Well how cute is that? Did you take it last week to SnB and I missed it?? It is really cute.\
I love this sweater. I remember you were working on it when you first came to SnB. So great to see what it looks like done.
It's the cow sweater! So cute! I love how you've made it your own - the different colored cows and the buttons.
Be-moo-ti-ful!
I remember that sweater!! You showed it at the end of the first yarn crawl :) It's incredible!! And so cute. Is that intarsia? Whew.
