My friend Liz has a seemingly bottomless stash of mystery yarn, and every now and again she passes a bag to me to be knitted into something lovely for the kids.
Invariably I pass this yarn to Ma, and she works the magic with her lightning quick needles.
These two sweaters are no exception.
First up is Igor…a free pattern from Drops Design available to download from Ravelry here.
Such a cute pattern….cables and moss/seed stitch get me every single time.
Add in an adorable sea-foam yarn and my sweet little blonde girl, and you’ve got a match made in heaven.
The matching hair clips were serendipitous.
This yarn is soft and has a beautiful drape. The sweater is just oversized enough to be slouchy and give some growing room.
I know I’m biased, but seriously, could she be any more adorable?
And if that’s not enough…Boy got a new cardigan too.
I love his this James Dean pose. He cracks me up!
I also love this honeycomb cable. This pattern is from the Jolly Beachcomber book that Ma has knitted from many times before. If you haven’t bought that book yet, go an do it now. Please! We absolutely love the patterns and just keep going back to this book time and again.
That smile! I die!
It being the first dry day of the week we made the most of our trip to the park.
The walled garden is the perfect place for high speed scooter races.
Cool dude!
We couldn’t leave Carter at home.
Blondes!
And finished with a quick pit-stop at the cafe.
Those cheeks…sure sign of an impending growth spurt!
Perfect!
He’s obviously been taught well by his sister with his posing! What a lovely pair they are, and gorgeous knits too x
They are incorrigible. Ma is a star knitter, for sure.
lovey jumpers (and pictures!). look at that posing from Boy!
Thank you. He’s hilarious!
I can assure you, you have a serious problem on your hands with that boy. He is OUTRAGEOUSLY adorable. Of course, so is Button, but his poses are crazy..
I know! I know!
The girls are fighting over him already. Seriously!!!
So adorably cute!! The sea-foam jumper is great, but my heart wants a grown-up version of the cardi! Those sleeves… And your little man is the best, what a pose! 🙂
The honeycomb cable is just wonderful. As is that boy of mine… 😉
All just lovely! You are going to have real heartbreak trouble when both of those gorgeous kids grow up 🙂
Thank you…and I know. I’ll be beating them off with a stick.;-)
Top of the cutie cute scale today Evie – gorgeous knits from your Ma but those children….awwwwwwww 🙂
Thank you. I can’t argue with you…
They are both so adorable! And Ma is a force to be reckoned with, with those knitting needles!
She’s a demon with the needles. They never stop.
Gah!!! Too much!
Oops! Got excited and hit enter too soon! Those kids and those knits are just too awesome!
Thank you. I feel that way sometimes…
Oh my goodness, how I’ve enjoyed this post. Your kids are so adorable Evie! How lucky they are to have you Ma make cozy knits for them.
Thank you! They are totally spoiled with lovely knits. Thankfully they really appreciate them. I’ve been reliably informed that the blue sweater is Button’s “most favouritest”. High praise indeed.
