Newest project...Easy Baby Cardigan

I am so excited about this project!  A few of my friends are having babies this summer and I wanted to try a baby sweater, so what better time!  I'm working on Diane Soucys Easy Baby Cardigan and it really is pretty simple!  I'm doing a newborn size in plain ol white because nobody knows the sex of their new baby, and my plan is to make gender specific ones after they arrive in a bigger size.  My cardigan can be found here.

Since I am a very visual learner I take a lot of pictures at different stages, it helps me when I can see what it should look like, and there aren't a lot of people who post like that. 
The first part of the sweater is the hood, and after reading other projects and thinking it over, I wish I had done a provisional cast on, I think it will make seaming the hood much easier....anyway, I didn't take a picture of that part (sorry) but its basically just a square anyway..

This is after all the increases are finished and I'm ready to separate for the sleeves..
