I actually had a bit of time to take shots of the sweater mid-block, instead of on a wiggly preschooler.
Both sweaters had these buttons. The package had trains, cars and airplanes. I put cars and trains on Syd's; and cars and airplanes on Sam's.
The best part of the sweater is the hood. I think I need to find a different pattern, though. One that is knitted more in one piece. I got pretty sick of sewing them together.
Now I'm working on February Lady in a soft off-white Lion Brand yarn for myself. I'm almost past the yoke and I have the three buttonholes done. I might make it short sleeved instead of the 3/4 sleeve the pattern calls for. I've wanted to make a short sleeved, off-white sweater for a long time to go over light dresses and this just might fill the bill.In other news, the roofing materials were delivered yesterday. Jeremy has one other job to finish and then we're next. We're going to have him put in a tubular skylight while he's at it-we'll pay for that out of our own pockets. The roofers in the area are doing a booming business after the hailstorm three weeks ago, but there sure is a difference in pricing. Can we say, "taking advantage of the situation?" I think Jeremy will get more jobs since he isn't gouging us.
Just so you know... Sam wore the sweater yesterday... in fact he was WAY to hot, but didn't care, he wanted to wear it, with the hood up and all. In fact when he finally realized that he was tired of the sweat rolling down his face, and that he better take it off, he just packed it around with him all day, mixed in with his doggie blankie. In fact, I am pretty sure it is laying right by his toys as we speak... or in some other location.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog. I'd love for you to come and visit my blog. I just made a Vintage Vogue Original 1944 Design, V2858. On the previous page you'll find a dress I made from an original 1974 pattern that I found in an antique store. I call that post The Lady in Lavender. And lots of other things in between. Hope you enjoy.
