little flax

i'm on a sweater kick. 

i cannot lie nor deny it.

i finished a couple of sweaters for me a couple of weeks ago. i told myself i was going to knit a couple of small things but found myself thinking that my little man could use a sweater. why not? 

i had a few skeins of malabrigo in my stash and i purchased them thinking they would make something beautiful together so off to my queue where i picked out this little gem.

i love tin can knits. their collections are so beautiful, the styling appropriate, and the cleanliness of the pattern are the icing on the cake. this particular pullover is knit in the round, making it oh-so-quick! every kid needs a good pullover, especially when winter starts like 6 weeks early... 

flax is from the simple collection--- an entirely FREE collection aimed at newer knitters. i've knit several barley hats for gifts! every kid needs a good pullover, especially when winter starts like 6 weeks early... 

i'm thinking that his sweater will have some red striping at the bottom of the body. it gives it some pizzaz and he kinda picked out the colors ;) well. with a little help from mama. 

this sweater is part of the KAL i'm hosting for my podcast. check out the most recent episode or the thread in the group on ravelry for details and prizes!
