Toby will always ask me if I am knitting him a jumper if he sees me knitting something. He also gets very excited when I grab a milo out of the cupboard to put on him. He puts his hands straight up and says excitedly, "A milo!"
I am grateful that Lily still loves wearing knitted garments. Secretly, I think it's because I knit predominantly in dk weight yarn. I think kids find thicker yarn a little more unwieldy and unyielding to wear, which possible turns them off wool. I know anything I've knit her that's thicker generally doesn't get worn by choice.
And my favourite part about their outfits on this lazy Queen's birthday Monday, two cute little pairs of feet:
AND because it's a birthday kind of day, which is always good for presents; how about a little game!
I've played this before on my facebook page and it was fun!

ReplyDeleteWell done Amy, I think it'd be a bit hard without sussing out my projects!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL Emily I think you need a prize as well! I totally forgot the I heart milo cable was a pattern as well!!!
Can you ladies both please pm me on Rav or email me which two patterns you'd like?
I wouldn't have been able to guess all the pattern names, but I do know for certain that your two look pretty darn gorgeous in their hand knits.
ReplyDeleteHope your week is a happy one.
They are so cute. I am still enjoying knitting for Amelia while she will wear them - the test on the needles is in school colours in the hope that she will wear it (she doesnt like the school unifor jumper)
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely. I'm so glad they like their knitted clothes.
ReplyDeleteMy ganddaughter loves the clothes I knit and sew for her but my grandson has always hated them. Not sure why.
Great pictures... I really love those socks! Makes me want to pull my knitting needles out!
