The baby jacket is now all sewn up and ends dealt with so is currently awaiting the addition of buttons.  The undisclosed colourful item turned out to be a baby hat which has now been completed, complete with the ubiquitous pompom and given to the relevant expectant mother.

On the waistcoat front I am thrilled to announce that the computer mouse has been disentangled, the pink yarn crisis resolved and both fronts now cast off.  I await the next drama filled steps with great anticipation.
