Anyways, on to the photos. Firstly though, let me apologise. I have a 6 year old son and when I ask him to pose for photos he goes a bit silly...
I knit the 25 inch size although his chest is 23.5 inches as it's supposedly Summer here and I wanted him to get some use out of it this Winter and hopefully the one after as well. Should be fine with that!
It's actually a bit longer in the arms and body than it looks which is good as he doesn't look too swamped by it.. Ok, maybe I could have done the 24 inch size after all! At least children grow lol
I dyed the yarn myself and one skein was slightly darker than the other two. Rather than alternating skeins I decided to be lazy and use it in the top part with the stitch pattern and pretend it's a design feature ;-)
Over all my son and I are both very pleased with it :-) Thanks Sezza for such a great design! More FO Friday posts at Tami's Amis as usual :-)
Very nice sweater, I'm sure he'll grow soon big enough to fit him right. Children do grow very fast :) Your son is very artistic!
ReplyDeletelol thank you :)
DeleteFab sweater:)
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteExcellent sweater! Your model is so entertaining:)
ReplyDeletethank you, he's very cheeky :)
DeleteI would never have noticed about the darker section of yarn if you hadn't said. I just thought it looked darker because of the texture. It looks like a lovely project and I think your son is pretty happy with it too!
ReplyDeletelol maybe I should have kept quiet!
DeleteYour son is adorable!!! Such fun photos of him, and a nice new sweater too!
ReplyDeletethank you :) he's such a cheeky monkey
DeleteLooks great, and I think the size is just right if he's to grow into it for winter. I did think the darker yarn on the top was a design feature ... so well done! Fun photos!
ReplyDeletelol thanks!
DeleteOoh, I was wanting to participate in that KAL (love that pattern!), but I can't even guess what size my little guy will be this fall/winter! Yours turned out great!
ReplyDeleteaw you'll have to knit him one closer to the time, it's a lovely pattern :)
DeleteGreat sweater, and the photos are adorable! Looks like he's already enjoying it!
ReplyDeletethank you, he does like his handknits :)
DeleteHe's cute :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colour you've dyed - it's gorgeous. Pah, I didn't notice the darker yarn - you're right, it's a great feature!

DeleteThat looks fab and your son is ace!!
ReplyDeleteHe is funny cute! I love that first pic b/c it shows his true self. Great job on the Alex Sweater.
