Yesterday, I finally knit the ears and sewed the button on the Burton Bear Cowl. I made it for Lily at her request, after the first one I made two years ago got too small in the shoulders and too floppy in the hood. This one fits her just perfectly.
At any rate, this was quick, simple, and cute. She loves it and has been wearing it nonstop, which of course makes me over the moon. And when the weather is as cold as it’s been, we all could use an extra hand knit to keep us warm, am I right?
Ah, friend, so many times I wish we lived closer as I know we would be even better friends if we could spend time together in person. Weaving in ends is NO PROBLEM, especially if you are doing it with a warm drink, and with friends. Better yet, you could easily have talked this friend into doing it for you. Still, when you do all the work yourself, you can be very proud of the finished product, and you shoudl be proud. Knitting is time and love made tangible, and every inch of the yarn in that garment was touched by you, infused with all your love and blessings for Lily. It is quite literally, the best you can do.
I think if we lived closer I’d catch the knitting bug! You could teach me all the things I’m too chicken to try on my own. Next time I see you, let’s plan to have a knitting tutorial. Sound good?
with these temperatures, i bet she is wearing it ALL the time!!! it’s adorable!! and her expressions are fabulous!!
Thank you! I’m just glad she loves it. Makes the whole process worthwhile. 🙂
I can’t believe how grown up she is–when did this happen? The new bear cowl is adorable–you continue to amaze me! It’s cold here–much too cold for Mobile, so if I had one, I’d probably be like Lily and not take it off either! Happy Mardi Gras! xx
Oh, I forgot that today is Mardi Gras! I’ll have to throw some beads at the kids later to celebrate. 😉
Everywhere else in the world, it’s just another Tuesday!
all I can say is….ADORABLE!! and that sweet face….ahhhh! she reminds me of my Skylar, who is 6…i’m guessing they are around the same age? you are the knitting queen!
