I was a prolific knitter for a few years when I first moved to Boston. I made hats, scarves, and a handful of blankets. I even knitted and quilted a couple of bags. But my knitting has fallen by the wayside since I had children.
Here's Ava wearing the hat and sweater I made for Jonah:
The hat, he wore. The sweater, not so much. It was my first (and so far, only) attempt at a baby sweater, and I'm not sure I followed the instructions exactly right. By the time I tried to put it on him, I could not fit it over his head. Honestly, though, I think it's because I knitted it wrong, and not because it was too small. So I ripped out the neck, and it sat on a stitch holder for about two years.
Fast forward to this winter, when I pulled it out again. My mom took it home with her and gave it to someone she knows who finished up the neck. It's not like in the pattern, but at least it fits over her head.
The pattern included a blanket, too. I started it while pregnant with Jonah. Here's how it looks today:
Maybe before they go off to college....
