the blue blog archives: a gold star for mommy

Looks like it's going to fit! I pretty much made up the sizing, since the gauge called for in the original pattern was so different that I couldn't really use their numbers at all. It looks like it should be a good 3 year-old size, which means the boys could get a year out of these pipsqueak sweaters. Fingers crossed. I've already had to pack the aran sweaters away because they're now too small and I'm not ready to do that again anytime soon!

He looks adorable! Lucky kids to have such a talented Mom. You DO deserve a gold star. And a gold medal too!

That looks great Alison, I love the star! Its nice when you can make clothes that will fit them for a while isn't it? I hate it when I mis-judge sizes and Brooke only gets a couple of months out of something. Good job..

Little Star is adorable!!! You have me thinking about making one of those for Luca. Yes, I always mis-judge size because my son is 21 months and he is the height of a 2 1/2 year old. I think I need to start making 4 year old sweaters :). They grow so fast don't they?

Wow, that Little Star sweater is *so* cute. The two boys in their finished Pipsqueaks will be adorable! :)
