I finished Milo’s sweater Sunday night. Which means everything I’ve been working on for the kids could be bundled and sent off with excitement. I found it hilarious that the day I was walking to the post office to mail the sweaters, it was 95 degrees outside. Thanks to a cool breeze from our northerly neighbor, it’s become a more spring-like 65 today, so maybe they will still have a chance to wear them.

I used the LBY ‘thick and quick’ again – and I am surprised to say I really love this yarn! It doesn’t pill, it’s machine washable (good for my sister – who is only recently off of handknits-probation for shrinking all of my handknit gifts!) and it knits up quickly on my favorite needles.

Once again, the pattern is my own – freestyled from measurements. Fin’s is approximately a size 8, maybe a 10 and used a full 5 skeins plus some extra I had leftover from the wham bam cowls. Milo’s is a size 6 (I think) and used 4-3/4 skeins. I didn’t take any notes, though the pattern is really straight forward. If you’ve knit many cardigans, you could easily replicate it.

Of course, Little Miss could not be left out of all the fun. I had a few little treasures for her too!
