Another One

Today Michael has been fussy. Not the kind of fussy where he is screaming and won't stop, just the kind where he just wants to snuggle all day and not be put down. So, it was a successful day in the Land of Knitting. The sweater is finished.

It started out like so

Then it was seamed and the buttons were added

And now it looks like this

It is warm and wooly and has plenty of growing room for the wee one. Becuase I know someone will ask, the yarn is from Knitpicks and is the Worsted Weight Wool of the Andes. This particular wool is not machine washable, but they do offer that as an option. I modified This Pattern slightly. The neck turned out a little wonky (by which I mean that the child wearing it would need to have the neck measurements of a bird in order to fit comfortably). Other than that, I think it turned out well.

This was taken shortly after we brought Michael home. It is possibly the only photo we took of him in the pumpkin where he is not screaming at us to get him out...

Happy Knitting! Supposedly we are still on a "Snow Watch" so if we do get anything, enjoy it.

P.S.- Thank you Aunty Heather and Uncle Jonathan for carving that pumpkin. The photos will probably turn up at some point to embarress the child. What are parents for after all if not to annoy their children?
