It’s bitterly cold still in our neck of the woods. Button has been very brave venturning out in shorts for photos. Thankfully Ma has been busy with her needles as they had grown out of pretty much all their knits.
First up is a little jacket that Button has had before. She absolutely loves it, and this time Ma made it with long sleeves, so it’s even cosier.
Pattern : Sirdar 2358
Yarn : 80/20 poly/wool from Abakhan at £6.17 for a 400g ball
Much as I’d love them to be clothed in Madelinentosh all the time…these two are R.O.U.G.H. on their clothes. This yarn can just be thrown into the wash and comes out as good as new.
The Boy was not to be left out…
Pattern : Sirdar Jolly Beachcomber No 2334
Yarn : As above. Thankfully as well as being resistant to small people, this yarn is also soft. Boy is a whiner about wearing a sweater. Unless it’s super soft it’s a no go.
Thanks, Ma. These are just lovely.
Aww Boy and Button, perfectly dressed as usual. Cute knits.
They are completely spoiled by Grandma! 😉
They make a lovely pair, cables look wonderful on little people
Very cute! I’m new to knitting and am still amazed by people’s creations!
Thank you. I find knitting a fabulous hobby and cables aren’t really that tricky…
I adore the hoodie, it’s just delightful!!
It is her favourite sweater. I’ve a feeling we’ll be seeing it again. I think it would look great with a zip…
I assume Ma is your mum. In which case, your kids are doubly lucky: both mom and grandma making handmade clothes for them!
She is my mum. She’s very talented! Nana is teaching them to bake cakes, her talents are in the kitchen.
Just beautiful! Button gorgeous as always and Boy is a handsome little man! What a talented Grandma too.
She’s a star! And those two are just too adorable for their own good! 😉
What beautiful sweaters! I think it’s so sweet that Button loved her previous sweater so much that she wanted the same again!
I agree…she was most upset when she grew out of it, and just thrilled with the new version. Bless her!
Both lovely – sweaters and kiddos and I wonder how long it will be before Button asks for a red one 🙂
My AB is the whiner about woolens and won’t wear the gorgeous cardis they got for their birthday from our wonderful neighbour. Nor the merino long sleeve Ts I make for them. I don’t want to go to synthetic (acrylic) but may have to try a cotton – wool blend or something like this poly – wool you’ve used. Will check it out.
I hope it helps…Boy is dreadful. He doesn’t like trousers, only shorts. Won’t wear shirts. Whines about woollies. It’s all I can do to stop him running round naked. Even in the middle of winter…he’d just wrap himself in a duvet!
Oh what lovely sweaters! How fortunate are these cuties that they have (at least?) TWO knitters working for them! 🙂 Also, I’m seriously jealous of your cold weather, in case I haven’t said that enough.
I love cold weather…boots, sweaters, hats, mittens. It’s the rain I can’t stand. And we get waaaaaay above the average here, which drives me crazy. That said…it’s glorious today and I’m already fed up with the “heat” (ie about 14 degrees!) 😉 LOL! I’ll shut up now! 😉
Your ma is a wonder!
I know! 🙂
