I finally have a picture of my nephews sweater!
I put the second picture in to show the cute reverse seams on the shoulder. It's a little big for him, so hopefully it will fit him next year as well. And he likes it!
Pattern: Simple Sweater w/Shoulder Seam Detail from Great Knits for Kids by Debbie Bliss
Yarn: Cascade 220 Superwash in Aqua Blue (this isn't the color name - I have to find the label but it's late and I'm tired)
Needles: Knit Picks Options size 6 (I think...I really should write this stuff down before I finish...)
Started: September 2007
Finished: January 2008
This was a super easy pattern to knit. And quick too! I finished the knitting by the end of October but didn't finish sewing it up until January. I love the shoulder seams and the rolled edges. I think Anthony looks my handsome in it. When I gave it to him he wanted to put it on right away. That's all the encouragement I need to make him more handknits!
I'm off to catch some z's. I'm leaving for Stitches West tomorrow. A little yarn therapy should make me feel better.

What a cutie! The reverse seam detail is a great touch - it makes it unusual!
Have fun at Stitches :) That is some well-timed yarn therapy for sure.
Anthony is so adorable with the sweater on! I'm making a big kid version (I think) for my sweetie boy. Have a great time at Stitches! Yarn therapy... your friend.
Anthony is sooo handsome in his new sweater. What a cutie.
Have fun at Stitches! Remember: Buying more yarn than can fit in your car is extravagent. So take a big car. :) Travel safe, amigo.
He's a serious heartbreaker in his new sweater!
Enjoy Stitches and safe travels.
The sweater is great!!! Nice work. Anthony is lucky to have such a talented Auntie.
Have a good time at SW. Alas, I'm not going this year. Please take lots of photos!
