i love this boy. he is too cute! soon, i will knit him a cotton pullover in blue and green. i might actually go with a pattern this time...i didn't use one for his last sweater (see below), just elizabeth zimmerman's method. we shall see. i have knit so many items for others, i just want to lavish my time and knitting ability on him.  

My adorable little model is wearing a Cascade 220 wool crewneck sweater. it was originally a rollneck, but his head was too big (or the opening was too small...whichever). Josiah loves his sweater and has already drooled all over it. He's even had a nosebleed in it. that was great. [:-)] thankfully, it all came out. Isn't he cute? 

hey, sorry to all of you who tried to leave a comment, but couldn't. if anyone knows of another free blogger site that allows comments w/o membership, pls let me know.

on another note, i started knitting a shawl/wrappy thing with a ball of patons brilliant in cream and it is addictively awesome. SOOOOO pretty (OOOH, see the colors...). and i'm almost done with the first ball. my goodness

i also am almost finished with josiah's first yr scrapbook. it only took me 2 1/2 yrs, but better late than never, right?

I am almost done with a very pretty little cashmerino off-the-shoulder sweater. My husband recently returned from chaplain training school at Maxwell AFB and when I proudly showed him my sweater, he siad, "Oh honey, you knit another cute sweater for Josiah (my 2 yr old son)!" Come on now! Men. When I am all done, I shall post it and maybe even model it for you. :-)
