The sweaters were winged from this custom-fit pattern with Bershire Bulky in oatmeal and red-ern. The letters were charted with this neat knitter's paper, using big fonts that mama picked hoping they'd flatter. And then for the cuffs, hem, neckline and border: a 2 by 2 rib and a stockinette curler.
The boys loved their sweaters and mama did too, though they got very pilly as Julian ran through the pews. There'll be mittens and more in my next post for sure, but for now how about pics from Christmas of yore ;0)
"Happy two weeks post Christmas and to all a good night!"
What very handsome (and well dressed) young men!!
ReplyDeleteHow darling. Beautiful pictures. Great shots. Those guys are adorable. You sure have your hand full! Oh, those blue eyes. Your boys are going to be lady killers one day.
ReplyDeleteThey look so handsome.
ReplyDeleteJulian is looking so much more like a big boy now. No more a baby. L is so cute too and what great pictures! Of course they love the sweaters Mom knit.
ReplyDeleteHow cute, and the sweaters are adorable too :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, those babies are natural sweater models! I love them! So precious!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the link to the knitted graph paper...one of my quests for the day was to locate it online! You granted my wish!

ReplyDeleteDelightful!
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable. Cute guys and lovely hand-knit sweaters!
ReplyDeleteCute stuff. So glad I found your site! I had plans to make a X-mas countdown with little socks for my girls-didn't happen - should probably start now so it gets done on time for this coming season:) You have inspired me with what you made!
ReplyDeleteLove the initial sweaters! So adorable.
I love me some Lincoln Logs too! And Tinkertoys! And Lite Brite. Ahhh, those were the days.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! All of it. Your baby is looking like a big boy these days. Maybe you need a new baby to model your tiny handknits...
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest little guys.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the sweaters are nice, too ;)
You always post such beautiful pictures. Are you trained as a photographer?
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with how much knitting you done with 2 little ones. They are darling and the sweaters are great.
