Comments: Noel and His New Red Sweater

aw, great pic! nice color for him, and i'm sure the zipper makes it more comfy too.

Look how big he's getting, Leigh! Great pic, very nice job on the sweater. I'm beginning to have no patience with splitty yarns. There are so many nice ones on the market now, who's has time to do the splits? I hope Noel gets lots of wear out of this one. (Is there any chance Becky will swipe it from him?) Have a great weekend, chickie!

Oh, what a cute kid! Great sweater, I love Aviso for the resulting fabric, but it does split. I used dullish bamboos and that probably cut down on the splits...

Wow, Noel is such a handsome guy in that lovely red sweater!! My Lydia would fall for him in a heartbeat I bet! Love the zipper collar! Great job, Mom!

Lovely red sweater for a very handsome boy !

Your silk gloves are gorgeous.O.K., not practical,for shovelling snow,but why does everything have to be practical.Sometimes things can be beautiful,special and extravagant.To be enjoyed,on occasion.Enjoy them and their beauty.

You are very lucky to have a preschooler who will still wear handknit sweaters. And of course, you son is lucky to have a mom who knits for him.

The gloves look beautiful.

That is such a great sweater. I am totally seduced by the decreasing on the sleeves, also. Just perfect. It looks great on the little man, too!

Wow, so cute on him! The zipper adds such a great detail to it as well.

Isn't it great to knit something that they *want* to wear?! You did a great job--I love the zipper! Noel and Becky are pretty lucky kids!
