I finished this sweater months and months ago, but it has been way too hot to get some pictures of Noah wearing it. Last week we had a brisk morning so I took advantage of the great light for a mini photo session with my little redhead. I’m so sad that Noah really isn’t going to get a whole lot of wear out of this. Fall in DC is still warm until October, so he will probably grow out of it before then. I should have knit one size larger. I just can’t get enough of these pictures!

Book: Natural Knits for Babies and Moms (This is one of my favorite knitting books for baby and moms. It’s a great book for beginning knitters and has a fantastic variety of patterns from hats, baby sweaters, shawls for mom, and even this maternity sweater, which I knit for myself when I was pregnant with Xander.
Yarn: Worsted Weight 100% Organic Wool from Green Mountain Spinnery purchased 3 years ago at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival

That is a beautiful sweater! You did a great job on it… I on the other hand have no clue how to knit and rely on the store to sell cute sweaters like that!

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

I cann’t knit for love or money. I’ve tried. I know how but I do not have the patience!!!

You are crazy talented; I love this and he looks so great in it!
Wow! You’ve got skills. It came out so cute. Maybe he’ll be able to squeeze in it a bit longer!
Thanks so much! I really hope so. If not hopefully sizing will work out whenever baby #3 comes along.
Thanks! I really hope so. Or I hope to be able to use it when baby number three finally happens.

Adorable! Hopefully he’ll be able to wear it for a little while. Sizing for kids is so tricky – they grow faster than I can knit!

LOVE the jacket. I’m currently knitting a pair of longies for my daughter and hope to knit a cardigan for her once I’m finished, especially since cooler weather is coming.
