His Fifth Sweater




My son will be two and he is going through his fifth hand knitted sweater in his tiny life venture. I started to make this one just before he was born, realized it was too big but was sorry to unravel it. Back then I didn't mind that I was buying acrylic yarn (in my LYS), all I cared for was colors. And now I am not able to "press" them through the internet in the right tone. The blue is rather green, like a sea water in Puglia. It goes well with the reddish tones, believe me. I call this sweater sea wave. The pattern is mine.

By the way, for those still interested, I didn't forget about the books, I am giving you some break.

Oh my goodness. He is so cute. I can't believe he is too already. I know you tagged me so I will do a post on books soon. Life is so busy right now, work is crazy. But this weekend I am knitting and sewing.
