For Starters:

I've finished the back of The Boy's new sweater!

I decided to use KnitPicks Shine Worsted (Pima/Modal) in Grass. The yarn is really soft, but I'm finding a little fuzz. Not quite what I expected from cotton. I hope it can stand up to a 3-year-old! It knits like a dream, though. Nice and slick, but not so much that it's uncontrollable. So soft on the fingers. :) I can't wait to wrap the kiddo up in it!
The sweater is simple stockinette with horizontal stripes in reverse stockinette--but it's not boring because the stripes aren't quite evenly distributed. I'm sure after doing the front I'll have the sequence down pat. :) There's also a small garter stitch border and side vents. The pattern is Sid by Kim Hargreaves from A Treasury of Rowan Knits. I wish I could find a picture of the sweater online somewhere, but I've been Googling in vain. . . I've had to do a little math for this one since the smallest size is a 4-5, which (get this) is a 32 inch circumference! Now what 4-year-old do you know with a 32 inch chest??? Urgh. I hate it when designers do crap like that!
I plan for the stripes to block out fairly flat. At least not bumpy and poofy like they are here. I want my kid to look cute--not like a green Michelin Man! *grin*
