a little something for a june baby

last night, very late, i finished the "surprise" i was working on last week. it's a wee little vest for the newest little member of our family, due in june. yes, maybe that is another reason for the recent bebe-obsession of my little man. we're very excited and very very happy!

it's the puerperium cardigan to be found as a free download on ravelry. you can read about yarn and other details on my ravelry project page. i made it short sleeved, as it will be a summer baby after all, even though you never know with our summers.... but i thought i can't go wrong this way. it will look really cute over a onesie, i think!

now i need a little help with choosing the buttons. i really want to keep this cardi gender neutral, even though we will hopefully find out at the end of this month whether we're having a boy or a girl. but somehow, i feel these fresh little new ones are less boy or girl, but alltogether newborn, don't you think?

so, what colours of buttons would you recommend on this little piece??

next up, a fisherman's pullover for the litte one... using quince and co.'s gorgeous puffin yarn. no reading this time, i was too busy with the stitches :)

 linking up with ginny's yarn along. what are you reading and knitting?
