THE "HUG ME" SWEATER.....

Well, that's the name of my first knitted sweater as shown in the knitting directions. It was not difficult and did not take too long. I wore it this evening and discovered that the sleeves seem a bit heavy and seem to drag on my shoulders. But,it is cozy warm and will be a real treat when the snow is deep! My next project is a knitted skull cap for Roy to keep his head warm.

Oh how yummy! Having held the various sweater pieces, I know it's going to be perfect for a walk in the woods on a brisk Fall afternoon. When you finish Roy's cap I'll teach you how to knit socks. :)

I learned to knit when I was ten. I made booties for my baby doll. During WWII I did a scarf for I think soldiers. In high school I knitted socks for a boyfriend. Boring but that was a fad. I have not knitted since. dee
