Knitting for family

This is how it started.. a big project. Mostly next to the Christmas tree.. which was a great way to spend my knitting nights. I wanted to make my sister in law a sweater for Christmas. She taught me how to knit so I wanted to make her something very special.


Here is the final product. I was very happy with it. I would have, however, made it a tad wider..




For her son, Juju, I wanted to make a sweater and line it with some adorable fabric. I was super excited for this sweater!!! and very happy with the outcome. However, when I was cutting the lining at one point, I cut the sweater! I have to learn more patience with these things. With the help of a sewing needle I was able to fix it.. I was quite devastated when it happened!! Can you imagine.. Hours of knitting and hurting hands.. just from one little snip!




Both projects were "learning" projects and I learned a lot. I am excited to venture into more sweater making!!! I have a few more on the horizon.
