Miss Mini, if you're nasty...
Here she is!
Yes, it looks like it's meant to fit my 3 year old, but that's because it's a minisweater!!
I used Lorna's Lace Shepherd Worsted in Black Purl, approx. 1.5 skeins. That's quite a bit less yardage than the pattern calls for, so I suspect my gauge was off. It feels a bit snug under the armpits, but I'm a relatively small person, so otherwise it all worked out well. Since I have no intention of knitting a zillion tiny triangles, I used a picot cast-off, which I think turned out just perfect with this sweater. Here is a closer view of the picot edge. And here is the picot-edged sleeve.
I'll take pictures of it on tomorrow, if it's not too hot. I'm in my jammies now an the two don't exactly match, so I'll hold off on striking a pose.
And now, because I'm a sheep-like knitblogger, behold my kitterkatters:
That's Tom sitting up-- he's 15 and quite the old curmudgeon. Rudy (aka Rude Boy) is three and is alarmingly in love with all things knitting-related.

Love the mini-sweater! You should model it for us! I like the colors you chose for it :) Your kitty boys look like they could be my Quincy's brothers... very similar looks!
TO answer your question on my blog: yes, I studied archaeology in college--specifically Near Eastern archaeology and art. :)
