The Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmerman is shockingly one of the easiest things I’ve ever knit.  I bought the pattern for it from Schoolhouse Press and despaired.  The pattern was written in the 1960s and the language of knitting has changed drastically since then.  I barely understood the pattern.  Then someone in my Filthy Knitters group brought me a supplement that’s only available to people who already own the pattern.  It’s a row-by-row thing that made my knitting the BSJ ridiculously easy.

I’ve already finished one and I had started on the second, when disaster struck.  I wasn’t paying attention, and discovered that I’d messed up a row back.  No big deal, I just started tinking the two rows I needed to deal with until I could fix the problem.  In doing that, however, I found two or three mistakes earlier on that I couldn’t tink back.  So, I frogged the whole thing.  I’ll restart it soon, because I’ll be able to do it while camping.  And then there will be a fabulous little pink Baby Surprise Jacket.
