Well this... all of this... was what I did last week as I was knitting the Double Breasted Baby Cardigan in Classic Elite Liberty Wool yarn.
The Kyarns staff had recently sent me some new projects and I dove right into this one as soon as I received my package. I think the sweater is SO cute and I just love the seed stitch double breasted front! It's in the new Liberty Wool Baby Pattern Booklet:
So when I started to suspect I'd be short on yarn I was devastated! Especially because if I needed another ball, I can't just run over to the shop and grab one. I'm all the way in Finland and I'd have to wait for another shipment. I kept thinking, "I HAD to have misplaced some yarn!" But I didn't.

Not enough for my liking!
This sweater is really cute, and I definitely recommend it for anyone needing an adorable baby gift. I just recommend purchasing that extra ball... for insurance purposes! (Note: I made the 18 month size. The 6-12 month size should be fine with the 3 balls called for!)

I ALWAYS worry about not having enough yarn. Which is why my odd ball stash is huge!
I have probably the opposite problem. I always buy too much yarn. It's usually because I am using a different type of yarn and trying to make sure I convert the gauges properly. I currently just finished a sweater vest, and still have 2 full skeins left over. It's not bad, just hate spending money on yarn that I might not use again for a while, instead of spending money on yarn I would use right now!
I love, love, love Liberty Wool Print which I saw first on your site. I like it best in big rectangular projects where the landscape quality of the uneven stripes becomes evident. I made baby blankets for twins from the North Sea Whitecaps variety - very beautiful for seaside babies. I have two skeins left and going to make sofa pillows for my daughters.
Ooh, I really like how the double seed stitch works with the Liberty Wool stripes -- so pretty!
