I finally got a picture of The Boy wearing his new cricket sweater that I knitted using a vintage pattern.
I am pleased to say that it fits (only just - won't do for next season) and he fully approves of my creation - I was worried it would be too obvious that it was handmade and he would be embarrassed to wear it. I think he must be the only boy at his club with a merino wool cricket vest - certainly beats scratchy acrylic!
I think he looks gorgeous!
I love that sweater, he looks super cute in it!
