where are they now: the weasley sweaters And I thought they'd outgrown them!
The boys' weasley sweaters from two Christmases ago still fit. They seemed like the perfect thing for them to wear on the coldest day of winter so far. Warm but light, that Rowan Felted Tweed was just right! (And so was a trip to the neighborhood Dunkin' Donuts where I snapped these pics with my camera phone.) The boys still love the sweaters too: "Oh, look my H sweater!" And two days later: "Are we wearing our H shirts again?" And did I mention that they still fit?! posted by alison at 8:48 am | in

Ahhhhh the cuteness! The boys have the best sweaters and the best smiles. :) And the best of all, the best Mom! Posted by: Lelah at January 30, 2007 9:10 AMAn illustration of the virtue of knitting in a larger size for children! Their smiles for the camera are a hoot. Posted by: Ruth at January 30, 2007 9:22 AMIt's amazing how long hand-knits will last for kids! My little one is wearing stuff from two years ago too! Posted by: Jennifer at January 30, 2007 9:26 AMThat's awesome! Its not too often kids get that much use out of a handknit ... any article of clothing for that matter. :) Posted by: Samantha at January 30, 2007 9:38 AMso cute Posted by: erin at January 30, 2007 10:01 AMInteresting that you post your boy's Weasley sweaters today, as I just finished up a Weasley last night! (I subbed WoolEase from my stash since I wanted something easy peasy for my sister to launder - my nephew is only one year old :) Posted by: Carla at January 30, 2007 10:12 AMthe sweaters look great I am preordering your book from amazon I cant wait till it comes out, I am with you in the HP knitting craze Posted by: Dana Vessa at January 30, 2007 11:38 AMwow i can't belive that it's 2 years already... Posted by: Orli at January 30, 2007 11:39 AMHow cute! I'm going to have to knit a Weasly after my little dude is born -- it's such a perfect little sweater. Posted by: Sarah at January 30, 2007 11:58 AMACK! they are so cute! and those sweaters looks so warm and cozy! i'm glad they still fit since little boys grow like weeds! Ahh those sweaters are so GREAT! And I love that he's showing off the tooth. heh Bad on me not remembering *which twin* it is. B or S. heh Have they worn the sweaters enough to really know how the yarn will wear? Any pilling or anything? The yarn looks so great for that pattern. Posted by: Laura at January 30, 2007 1:00 PMSaw your Harry Potter knitting book on Amazon this weekend, I can't wait to get it. Can you give us a sneak preview? Posted by: jackie at January 30, 2007 3:53 PMSpeaking of HP Knitting, I just found out about your book the other day. Congrats! Can you give us some details (when it's coming out, etc.) and perhaps some project previews or any other info? Curious and eager minds want to know... Posted by: Becky at January 30, 2007 5:04 PMThe boys look sooo cute, don't those smiles just make you feel better-and I sure hope you are feeling better! I love the tweed yarn you used for the sweaters, very Harry Potterish! Posted by: Danielle at January 30, 2007 5:04 PMThe sweaters still look as new, they're lovely! Posted by: Peeve at January 30, 2007 5:31 PMWonderful! Hey- I was just wondering if you knew of any US online yarn store that sold Regia Canadian Color yarn? I have looked everywhere!!! Ps- I definitely want to sign up for sockpalooza 4 when it opens! Posted by: Makenzie at January 30, 2007 9:56 PMThere is something about handknits and boys that they last for far longer than we think they will. They just seem to grow with the boys--I know mine keep pulling on their old sweaters and won't stop wearing them. And those dear sweaters just seem to keep fitting.
