giant baby sweater
I've been admiring everyone's February baby sweater from Knitter's Almanac so much that I decided to try to make a giant one for myself. I used a bulky weight yarn (School Products cashmere merino) and size 10 needles, cast on 64 stitches instead of 50 and added some short rows to raise the back.
I wrote a more complete description of my alterations with a few more pics on my blog, in case anyone's interested.

I am in the process of making my own adult best baby sweater from the bottom up. I will post when finished. Yours looks great.

I' been thinking of the same thing-- having too few baby girls around to knit this sweater up for. You did a great job!
