Arrr me hearties!
Avast ye scurvy dogs! This 'ere knit be not for the lily-livered. On me latest voyage I made a Jolly Roger sweater for the scallywag sprog o' an old school matey fer his first birthday booty. It be from the book Adorable Knits fer Tiny Sprogs by that thar wench Zoe Mellor.
Plunderin' o' the stash chest gave me some acrylic line t' weigh anchor, but them thar many colour changes be shiverin' me timbers, so t'were easier t' be simplifyin' it. Less ends t' sew in ye know an' more effective lookin' o'erall.Now yer'll all be a-commentin' or it's the plank.
Ahoy mateys! The wee bucko's been sighted in his sweater o'er a cup o' grog. I'll be swappin' arrr for aw from now on.

This looks great, Rain! Oh, I remember those ends far too well! :0)

It's fab, great for the young trainee pirate.
What a lucky little boy! Maybe sewing in ends is almost as nerve wracking as walking the plank!
Totally awesome matey. You keep 'em coming, savvy?!
Thanks for the tip on the crochet edge for my capelet. =D
What a perfect sweater for a little boy! I've never looked at a Zoe M. book, but if this one's any indication of her patterns, I'm already hooked! Aye Matey!

Oh sweet mother of Fatzah.
It's a 1-2 punch---you start with a picture of a super cute FO and seal the deal with a super cute kiddo modeling it!
I have to click away before my head explodes from cuteness!
Arrr, you knit that one up handsome-like. The wee salty dog who's doing the wearin' of it looks like he's thinkin' o'the saucy wench with the lightnin' needles.
So what did you change?
