Bought a New Knitting Book Today

Bought it at our LYS* in our small town. Looking for a nice sweater for a 2 yr old boy. Here is what I'm considering, subject to the approval of the Great Aunt, for whom it will be knitted for her to gift said child. The book is called Simple Knits for Little Cherubs by Erika Knight. Now, it's not what I consider to be that SIMPLE, but it is within my skills, I'm pretty sure, and it looks fun. If Great Aunt doesn't like it, I will probably knit one anyway, and save for my next boy-gifting opportunity. I WANT to knit it!!! I'm sure all knitters know this feeling.

A Couple of Finished Projects from Members of the Group

This is Annette's red sweater. I love it!!! The tan flecks in the yarn are picked up by the antler buttons that she made herself. She said her dad would roll over in his grave seeing what she was doing with those antlers of his. But I think he would be pleased to see that she is using them for something nice. Better than having them lie in a dusty heap in her garage. They make wonderful buttons!!

This hat was made by Janet, of the Shaeffer Meadows Fiber Guild. I think it is alpaca yarn; I know it doesn't make my head itch!! I love the color and the fact that it fits my little head!
