Raglan!


Who feels like singing with me? You all know the Dora the Explorer song, right? We did it, we did it, we did it, yeah!


What's all this about? Zoe's sweater is now complete, done, fini! :) All yarn ends threaded (what a pain since I don't really know how) and she's ready to wear it to school. I am SO proud I could bust with happiness. Went shopping yesterday and Lucas chose his own sweater color in a charcoal grey. He is really proud that this is going to be HIS sweater made with HIS yarn. Gotta love seeing the kids excited over the knitting I do for them. :) Since I had such success with this pattern, I'm just going to stick with it and use it again. Best to not jinx it and keep working with a pattern I understand. LOL!

I am feeling a tad jealous though and I just might knit something for myself after. I have enough Noro Kureyon left from my shopping spree in Toronto last year. I am scared than an adult size sweater would be alot for me to work on. I know it's silly but I am afraid of bigger projects. There is the Top Secret sweater I started months ago and at least it's already got part of the body and a sleeve knitted. LOL!

Oh that looks like a wonderful sweater! You've done a great job!! Isn't it fun to see kids chose their own colors in clothing? Mine did that from the age of 2 years on, he could take a long time to find just the right socks for his outfit! don't know where he got it from, not me LOL Posted by: Maus at September 20, 2004 10:15 AM
