IMG_20141015_182333Guess who put on her sweater?! We gave her the choice between this and her Little Sister’s dress yesterday and she chose the Like Sleeves! Hurrah! IMG_20141015_182240These are less than stellar phone pics, but the kid is a blur. I did what I could. As you can see, this thing is huge and will probably fit her till she’s 5. I made the 3/4 size. IMG_20141015_182345It completely escaped my attention that she really only has two tunics and one pullover that really fit right now. I’m thinking I should make the focus of NaKniSweMo (National Knit a Sweater in a Month that happens in November) knitting her as many sweaters as I can. Of course I might try to make some kind of adult sweater during that time too, just because I’m a crazy person.

Also, in celebration of the upcoming sweater months and NaKniSweMo, for the next week (till end of day Oct. 22nd) I’m putting my sweater patterns for 20% off! That includes Articulation, Bespoken, Little Roarer, and Ruffaluffagus. Use the code NAKNISWEMO14 as a coupon code in your cart to apply the discount.

    She looks darling! Great job. It looks so cozy. Good luck on your sweaters too. I don’t think I could even finish one whole sweater in a month!

    That looks amazing! I need to make one. First I need to find a kid to make it for.

    I bet her smile in the first pic was worth the long wait. Super cute, both the dress and her.

    I have been knitting for years, I even have a bachelors degree in hand knitting (yes really!) and I am ashamed to admit I have still never knitted a sweater. I love the idea of NaKniSweMo, and I will definitely be taking part! *Scurries off to find a sweater pattern to attempt*

      It took me 3 years before I felt brave enough to try a sweater. It’s really not bad at all! You can do it!

        I’m definitely going to try it this year, I’ve just ordered my yarn and I can’t wait!

    Your posts make me smile. Your little girl reminds me so much of my girls when they were little (now teenagers). I tried every trick in the book to get my daughter to wear what I wanted her to. To be completely honest…………I KEPT trying until she was 13! I waged peaceful guerrilla warfare with her everyday until she won!
