Jet now has a new sweater.




Jet in his New Sweater
Originally uploaded by Liralen Li.
I made Jet a sweater. He picked the yarn, it's kind of a camo thingy in Paton's Classic Merino Wool, and then I very loosely used the Hooded Sweater pattern by Lion Brand yarn.

It's as skinny as the 4 year old sizes, but longer than the 6-8 sizes as Jet was... well... longer in both body and arms. The hood's a little snug, but he likes it that way. Just in time for him going back to school, but I don't anticipate the temperatures coming down enough for him to use it for a while. Luckily it's a little long all over, but... I'm not sure it's going to last the year.

He really likes it and finds the wool very soft. I have probably an extra three balls of yarn... which might be enough for a whole other sweater... as Jet was just way too skinny for the size that was supposed to be his.

There's some things I think I can do with it and it is fairly nice yarn.

Very nice. That's the thing with kids and sweaters, isn't it? Gotta finish the project before they're already out grown it.

*giggles* given that it was 90+ outside... it was pretty warm, I was pleased he was willing to try it on.
