It’s hard to find nice looking boy’s sweaters. It’s on my list of to do projects. I too would love to know how the sleeves were knit.

You know on those office days when the air conditioning is too cool and you need a little covering. How comfy and cheerful it would be to slip on a ‘sock sweater’ Ha!

When I knitted a sweater with self-striping yarn, the sleeve striping came out twice as wide as on the body.

And I’m impressed with anyone who can get a boy to wear something knitted–my son never would!

I thought that yarn looked familar, since i have a pair of socks I knitted out of the same yarn, and I never would have though it would make such a darling kids sweater! Fantastic faux fair isling, for sure!

I have a question – how did she do the sleeves? I notice the striping seems to be the same width on the sleeve as it is on the sweater, and I would think with self-striping yarn that the stripes would be wider down by th sleeve cuffs.

Will have to check out this yarn!

On vacation last week I forgot to pack my padded biking gloves. I made due with the Sox Jacoby fingerless gloves from berroco.com. The gloves were champions. I expected to wear them out on the handle bars – but no – instead, after washing on my return, they look like new. That’s the second best test next to the “kid” test.
