Just the buttonhole band left to go!
Any suggestions on what could go on the back? Leave me a comment if you think of something super cool (preferably for a baby boy).

Baby Cardigan: Part II
I am almost finished with the cardigan. It's been going pretty well, except for the neckline and button band/buttonhole band. I have never knitted anything that required picking up stitches. I found it really difficult and I think I took out the neck 5 or 6 times before I finally thought it looked okay (not perfect, but functional and fairly decent). I only have the buttonhole band left to do and then just sewing in the ends. I am thinking I would like to stitch something into the back as well. I've never done that before either, but think I could figure it out. My husband suggested a dump truck. I'm still undecided. For now I just want to finish up the knitting part.

That's great! You are almost done and it looks wonderful! Your first little sweater might be hard to give away but the baby will love it!
I like the idea of a design on the back. Maybe even just a monogram? That might be an easy one and look cool too. I like the dumptruck idea too.
sara i'm always impressed with your skills...the sweater is sooooo cute. i'm making a couple of felted sweaters right now and i'm going to be doing some roving on top. I don't know if it would work for a knitted piece but it's an idea. look at sweetthingsdesign.com she has some great ideas.
kisses, sarah
