Knitting for My Boys

Winter, if not yet knocking on our door, is definitely walking up the front steps.  Although I may not be emotionally ready for it this year, as far as wardrobe is concerned, the boys are ready for it this year.  Mittens.  Check.  Neck warmers.  Check.

I do believe his mittens are on the wrong hands.



Knitting for the boys was a much easier task than taking pictures of those hand knits on said boys.  Quick and dirty photo session.

For those of you interested, the neck warmers were knit using Amanda's Wintry Weather Cowls pattern found in her latest book The Rhythm of Family.

    I designed Isaac's neck warmer that I made him a few years ago; we call it a turtle-scaraf. LOL. Love the colours you chose. And yes...they are such handsome boys. Yeah for winter now, right? :)

    I wondered how I missed this post, then I smiled as I read your mention of The Rhythm of Family book. I received an e-mail this morning saying it's finally ready for me to pick up at the library. I'll probably end up wanting to buy it. But, the timing of two things did make me think my reading this now is good timing:)
    I've probably mentioned this before, but I don't knit. I just love to look at blogs where people knit. Megan knits, and it makes me happy. I am glad you captured your boys in these pics. They're just so handsome and obviously full of charisma. Makes me smile to see the pics.

    I'm good at knitting winter gear for the girls, but not so good at making matching accessories. Nice work! I, too, have that book, but I've been going to town baking the berry muffins. Those cowls would make a good Christmas gift!
