A couple of things about the baby sweater. First, do the math and make sure the weather will be appropriate for a sweater when the baby is the appropriate age. It's heartbreaking to realize that the wee one will be too big or too small to wear an item you really love. Second, I find pullovers to be a pain in the butt till the babies get to be about a year old and their heads start to get slightly more proportionate and they don't FREAK when you put something over their heads. Third, I have found that at about a year, they don't grow as fast and get more wear out of things. Sorry to prattle on but you seemed lost at sea....I hope you aren't more confused. The yarn looks beautiful.
I hope I'm not double posting....I got an error message.

The previous comment has great info - and I can tell you from first hand experience that things that go over the head aren't as useful. Much easier to get cardi styles off and on for feedings, changings, etc. It's lovely yarn!
I love the bright colors of that yarn, perfect for a baby! Thanks for the info about the movie too... I knew about the nominations, but somehow missed information about it in the papers.
I'm starting Judy's Grandmother's Baby Sweater from Greeting from the Knit Cafe - looks like a fun and easy knit.
