New Photos of Baby and New Knit Project.

It seems like I have been working on the DROPS jacket forever, but it is coming long great. I have completed the back and am half way done with the front left. I don't know how I feel about the striping effect yet, but I do like the yarn ok.

I also started the Mossy Jacket for the baby a few days ago, because it is still a little cool. I will have to share the details of the project later. It is hard to type with the baby in my other arm! :)

Well, I have people to ask for more photos of the R. G. "Baby Boykin". So here are a few of him and the other boys. I hope you enjoy!
