FO: Tis the season for babies

Just a quick one to show off a FO - I knit a cardigan for a friend of mine who is also pregnant, and due just a few days after me!
It's her first - she and her wife are SO excited. I just attended the most amazing baby shower in their honor and can't wait to meet their little boy. E is so damn nonchalant during pregnancy too - she is still teaching, coaching field hockey, traveling, and being awesome in general. She's not even planning to stop until the day before her due date. I would wish her luck but I don't think she needs it :P Okokok I wish her luck.

Here's the cardigan I made (they already found out they're having a boy). It's a bit of a cheat - I used a pattern I already know and love. Hey man, low effort knitting is still knitting...and knitting is love, or at least looks like love when I can't explicitly say it :)


Got distracted and added too few stitches for the collar - so instead of a straight-on cardigan it's going to be a funny curvy fit. Oh well.

A close-up of the elephant I added with double stitching:

Now it looks like I meant to use gray!
This was a total stash buster as well - so many half skeins lying around, what else am I supposed to do? Find more info at the Ravelry project page including the free pattern I used.
