I felt inspired as I looked out my kitchen window one beautiful frosty morning in January. I put Little L's Christmas sweater on him and went outside to snap a few shots. Little L wasn't quite as into the idea as I was. I took a couple of pictures just to adjust my settings...
and that was it. Before I could even get set up, he was done. Back inside we went.
There were more geese and ducks than usual at the pond down the road from our house. Little L loved every second of watching them and tried to speak to them in their language by saying "Honk-a-lonk" over and over again.
He had a brief moment of panic when he saw his hands were dirty from climbing the mossy stairs (he does not like to feel dirt on his hands at all).
Ah,I feel better now - his Christmas sweater in pictures at last! I was beginning to fear it would get destroyed or lost before I could get any shots of him wearing it. I really adore this sweater on him and it knit up so fast that I have a feeling there will be many more in his future. One in every color I can get my hands on! The sweater pattern is called "The Fisherman's Pullover" but being a former animal rights activist, I had to rename it to "The Sea Shepherd's Pullover". I used Brambleberry Yarns raspberry worsted in the sea grass colorway. The subtle variations in this yarn are striking in person. I wish I was able to photograph them better for you to see. I had a few mods to the pattern and will add them to my rav page later. At the moment, I am feeling a bit under the weather and I can't remember exactly what I did differently other than using bigger needles.
