More of my sickness

I admit it.

I've tried to deny it, but I can no longer live with this lie.

I have a problem.

I enjoy dressing my children in matching outfits.

I just can't help it. I've tried but they look so cute.

So to indulge my illness I made these.



Pattern: Tater's Cotton Cardi size 2 and 6 (Sorry I can't figure out how to link to the PDF, but the pattern is on her side bar)

Yarn: Knit Picks Shine in Green Apple, 9 skiens total

Needles: Size 4 Addi Turbos, and Size 4 DPNs

Modification: None

Review: I'd never made a top down raglan, or any raglan sweater for that matter, so this sweater construction was a bit of an adventure for me. I highly recommend it. No seams, just a few end to weave in. This pattern is flawless. I had a bit of trouble in the beginning, it was user error, and the designer was so kind helping me with it. You gotta love talented people who shine on us less gifted ;)

I think Pork Chop likes her sweater.



Don't mind her zipper, she's still only five. I'm sure she'll stop making such glaring fashion mistakes once she turns six next week.

Bird on the other hand put her sweater on under protest.



We all know how she feels about wearing my hand knits. I swear she only put it on because Pork Chop was wearing one. She's my little "Me Too" kid. Anything the older kids do she does too. Jump off the jungle gym? Of Course. Eat Broccoli? Only after Meaty does. Take a nap? Well, she's on her own for this one, she is my ONLY napper. She's such a good napper too. Sometimes she'll put herself down for a nap. But I digress.

At least she didn't scream the entire time she wore the sweater. She quietly tried to hide from the camera. I chased her all around the coffee table trying to get a good shot. It was a very calm affair compared to previous attempts to photograph her in my handiwork. It's like she's just given up. I fear a tiny piece of her soul died today.
