Big love, little sweater

 Blue Hundertwasser

One year old. I had really meant to write this on Ivars birthday the 6th of December, but I think I might have slipped on a black patch in my brain and got stuck. Well, I intend to shine some light into that darkness. Decorate it perhaps.

My sweet, smiley, cuddly, happy, cookie-loving little son is growing into a toddler. I am not sure if I want to let him grow any older than this. For someone only capable of saying three words (Mamma, Pappa, kaka*), he is surprisingly able to get what he wants.

He got this little sweater from me. I love the yarn, Opal Hundertwasser Wool, and it took exactly one skein to knit this with only a few inches of yarn left after finishing. The sweater did come out a little tight in my opinion. Anna had the same reflection on the very same sweater for her baby daughter. It took me forever to finish it because I could not seem to get the collar right. This is a keeper though. An heirloom. I will keep it for my grandchildren, if I am ever so lucky to get any.

Wonderful! I have the same yarn and have made one sock so far, but it is a million times better as a sweater with an adorable model!

Så fin tröja! Och så fin liten herre!
Jo biland vore det härligt om man kunde stoppa baren från att bli större, mina killar är nu 10 och 12 och inte får jag sticka några tröjor till dem inte.

Barnen ska det ju vara inte baren (någon sådan har jag inte besökt på länge) =)
