As knitting away on the Baby Surprise Jacket for Little Guy, I got to thinking about knitting for others.
For example, I never knit for for my guys. For one thing, they would not appreciate it. Nor would they be careful with whatever I knit them. Far from wool worthy, they would not even be considered knit worthy. My boys especially tend to leave their hoodies and/or coats all over the county.
Other friends I trust with wool. I have gifted some shawls and scarves. I have knit sweaters and shawls for some of my fiber friends. I know they appreciate wool.
And while I know babies would appreciate fine wool, for their mother's sake, I usually stick with washable wool blends, even if they are wool worthy.
But back to my BSJ for Little Guy. I am steaming right along. The sleeves are nearing the end, and I will soon start increasing. There will be more white stripes and a few yellow stripes once the arms are finished. I like how they stand out against the blue tweed.
I know I doesn't look like a baby sweater yet. That is the magic of the Baby Surprise Jacket. It is fun watching it develop.
