Baby F's birthday sweater was completed on his birthday but with the gloomy skies it was impossible to get photos of him in it. I finally just gave up on waiting and decided to snap a few photos, despite the clouds, on a little field trip in Boise. I am hoping to get better shots once the sun decides to grace us with his presence again.

Details: Yarn is from my friend Ginny at GSheller. I couldn't quite capture the beautiful greens and blues in this yarn but trust me it is breathtaking in person. The buttons are from my favorite button shop - WoolyMossRoots. I made the same mods to this sweater as I did to Little L's sweater I made him for is first birthday. Rav notes here.

Speaking of the birthday boy - He took his first official steps on Monday. He kept taking a couple of steps here and there throughout the day but then that evening he took about ten steps across a room while we were at AHG!

What a very sweet sweater! We have a very new walker over here as well and it's such a sweet and crazy time. Her big sister enjoys it immensely! I'm a little jealous of your snow, but I'm sure I would feel differently if it had lingered here as long as there. Keep warm!

I feel silly wanting our snow to go after we have been begging for LOTS of snow for years, but oh boy, I just want to let my baby play outside! If the snow wasn't so slushy he could but it rains then it snows then it rains again. Crazy weather!
Such a beautiful sweater! Great job!
The sweater is beautiful. Do you make all of their clothes?

Not all of them. I sued to sew a lot but as they get bigger I seem to sew less for them.
I really like the sweater. Is it hard?

Honestly I think it looks hard but is really pretty easy. Trust the pattern and it works out! I usually tend to over analyze patterns which causes me to make mistakes but I just went with it for this one.
gorgeous sweater and hat and photos!!
The cap is lovely, and it's nice to see kids get dirty while having fun and learning.
Both the children's sweaters are gorgeous. I especially like the colour in your daughter's sweater - it really suits her. Well done! You do such beautiful work. My daughter has exactly the same golden boots as your daughter. Good choice :-)
I love your handknits Nicole. You make such beautiful garments.

Beautiful sweater. Especially love the sheep hat. wish I had the patience & skills to follow a pattern. I'm an old school 2 needle knitter and tend to make it up as I go along. Not adept at following patterns.

Oh my goodness, I just love that sweater!
The sweater is beautiful and your baby so cute, I can't quite believe how old look your eldest daughter, I how to get some yarn from Ginny soon, I just keep missing the shop's updates and everything is soon gone.
