Notes

The Seattle twin girls were born on Cinco De Mayo. I had to make them something that looked Chili Peppery/Tomatoey right? These are too darn cute!

I really wish the babies had been named Taco & Bell.

Wonderful and easy pattern. My first real baby stuff. Made fun tomato hats to match (http://ravel.me/myjewelthief/bbh).

Just a few minor modifications: Doing Medium size on size 7 needles - used size 5 for the edging. I went down a needle size from the pattern cuz the yarn makes a better fabric on a size 7. Modified the pattern so that the change of yarn colors was smooth rather than with the purl bump. Created Icord for the ties instead of curly ties.
