Progress...and Knitting for Cute

In case you were wondering, the knitting of the dog sweater is going marvelously. The pretty pattern is actually way easy for how complicated and nice it looks--you're just reading the diagram and repeating it over and over. The hard part is all the  increasing and decreasing and slipping off and on for the armholes, which I just finished. Here is a picture of what I've got so far.


And so far I've tried it on Winston and he seems to like it...but he has tried to eat the yarn on several occasions. In one such instance my noble DH had to rescue the white yarn from hanging off the balcony, which is where Winston takes things he doesn't want us to know he's chewing. Sometimes we call him Sir Chews-a-lot.

What I don't know is how I'm going to tear myself away to work on my papers this weekend--knitting is so addicting! When I'm all done with my master's (a.k.a. family time, if ya know what I mean), I'm going to knit all kinds of stuff. The options are endless! I looked around and found some adorable tiny clothes (all free patterns)--here are my favorites:

Sweater Dress (Petite Purls)

Pretty Blanket (Red Heart)

Little Cardigan (AllFreeKnitting.com)


Baby Booties (Originally from the blog Blissfully Domestic)

Minion Hat (Ravelry)
(A little girl at my work has one of these--so funny!)


Which one should I go for first? Do you just want to smooch that sweater dress baby's little cheeks like I do? Do you have any other fabulous free pint-sized knitting patterns?
