Sleeves

These are sleeves. Sleeves for Caleb's new blue sweater. He picked out the pattern (Woody from Debbie Bliss' Junior Knits book) and he picked out the yarn (Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes in Winter Night). This is the first time he's ever been this involved in a sweater and its so funny to watch him get excited about it. The sweater is a very simple stockinette pullover with two rows of garter stitch at the edges and neckline, and the sleeve seams are sewn on the right side. Otherwise, its just a basic dropped shoulder sweater. Its the kind of sweater that you don't really even need a pattern for, its so simple, but it looks like the kind of thing a boy would throw on just to be a boy. I could even see Mickael wear it, but the thought of knitting that much stockinette stitch makes me queasy. Maybe if I started one for him now, I could get through it by next Christmas. Of course then, I'd have to knit Caleb a new one too since he'll have grown out of this one.
