Baby Sweaters!

This is a sweater I made several years ago, with bright red
buttons to keep things interesting.

As December approaches, I get the urge to knit. With the onset of the cold weather, gardening isn't an option, so I turn to indoor activities. I don't have the patience to knit grown-up sized sweaters, so I knit for babies - for the children and grandchildren of friends.

I was taught how to knit a simple scarf when I was about 11 years old. The rest I have picked up along the way. Decoding knitting patterns can be an adventure, especially when your stitch-count doesn't match the pattern. I've learned not to stress over mistakes... it just means the sweater was made by hand and isn't perfect.
