Sweater and Caps

This Sweater is SO So Soft and Squishie... I just LOVE it... A Girl saw me sewing on the buttons the other day while waiting for my laundry and she was in love with this sweater.. She wanted to know if I sell them ..I told her No... I have way too many Grandchildren to knit for and people just do not want to pay $$$ what we should charge for a handknitted item... She said that she works in Nordstrom and that they would LOVE to have these in the store.. Oh yeah... pfffffft.. Can you just see me knitting a shelf full of these sweaters... No..No.. Thats too much like WORK.. I knit because I like to knit not for the $$$$$...
After all.. Most of us spend so much $$ on our yarns, etc....our ever growing STASH... I don't think I could ever get back what I have spent but I knit for the enjoyment of it and I know my Daughters and Grandchildren really love there Knits from Grammie !!! Oh.. Yeah... It also keeps me a little bit more "sane".... :)
So Anyway....... I put two photos here because the first real yellow one is the true color and the other is not... I'm still figuring out the best settings for my camera... LOVE this digital photography...It makes it so much easier to see your photos....

My Daughter sent me a photo of a hat like this from a store and asked if I could make one for her and one for Samantha... These are the results of my efforts... Now the BIG challenge is seeing how they fit them... I'll send them off soon in the mail and hope to show you some photos of April and Sami wearing their Hats !!!!!

The sweaters ARE looking squishy & soft. But I'm with Carrie...those hats are just fantastic!!! I want the pattern PLEASE!!! Lead me to it! And in gray---wow. I wear hats a lot so I'm always looking for a new one to knit. Would you email me the info to the hats at mjswaim "at" valornet "dot" com please?? Thanks Penny!:) Or post it on Knit & Chat??
