Knitting Workshop, which is actually the companion to her PBS series. If you're lucky enough to find the tapes/DVD in your library system, grab them! If you have to pick tapes, make sure you get vol. 3, which has the sweater. (Supposedly. I'm waiting for it to make its way across the state whee )
If you can't find the video, just Google "baby surprise cheat help" and the first link up should have a cheat sheet, since she doesn't write row-by-row for that. She actually demands her readers be smart. wink I got pretty far before I had to reassure myself I was doing it right. I'm knitting with one wrist in a splint, and I think I would have cried if I'd had to frog it because I misunderstood. rofl
I'm using a light blue acrylic from my stash right now, because it's light and large, so I can follow the pattern easily. I'll probably finish it nicely, since I just found out a not-sister-in-law (might as well be family) is pregnant.

I'm actually just finishing up my first BSJ, of a set of two for my two pregnant friends. Here's my take on adult-sized mods:
1. Length: not a problem. There is an area in the pattern (if you have a copy next to you, look where it says to knit the center area only, and later pick up stitches - you can make that part as long as you want, and pick up stitches accordingly)
2. Arm length: This is the part that I would think would be more of a problem, since babies have such shorter arms relationally to their bodies. If you either picked up the areas that become cuffs and knit onto them, or did rectangle-y shapes before you cast on and added them where they would need to go, that could do it. I worry that doing the arm shaping on a greater number of stitches for a longer amount of time might do something wonky, and you'd have shaping coming out your armpits (if you can see what I mean?). Then again, a longer cast on for the center area might fix that.
Basically I think that if you had a gauge such that your cast-on for the cuffs was what actually fit you in the arms, the sleeves would be too short, because of the rate of arm shaping. You might could change the rate of shaping to change the slope, but that's more math than I can do in my head biggrin
Sorry for being vague, her patterns are so simple when you understand the ideas behind them, I'm trying not to give things away smile
