Baby Sweater approaching finishline!

As I mentioned, I gt so excited abt Jovia's dress that i kept the baby sweater away for a while to finish the dress. But now I am back on it and I can again feel that same excitement when u are abt to finish a project. I completed one sleeve but then i found out that for sewing the seams i din hv any thread left as i had used up everythin for Jovia's dress. So now i hv to wait till i get the thread first and then do the ribbing at the edges.....

I just had the sleeves left tobe done so shudn take long .
...mayb in less than a week the cute lill baby sweater shud be done :)
