Charles is finished!

Here is the Charles sweater in all its glory!

Pattern: Charles from Jaeger magazine JB29
Size: 6-12 months
Yarn: 3 balls Jaeger Baby Merino 4-ply in Pearl (#103) and 1 ball in Blue Ball (#127)
Needles: 2.75 mm and 3.25 mm
Comments: I really enjoyed the swiss darning. This was my first time finishing raglan sleeves, and I think it went all right. This sweater is definitely a keeper.

I also found out that Kim's baby girl was born, so I need to kick it into high gear on the ABC blanket. Here're the next 5 letters.
