My knitting ready to be sewn together pile has two sweaters: the Mason Dixon baby kimono and the WoolEase rose-colored size 10 child's sweater.

The second sweater is for the family our knit group is knitting for. Mary met the baby twins and the two-year old and predicts their sweaters will be great fits. (I am nervous as anything that the 8 year old's rose sweater won't fit!)

I am knitting a baby sweater for one of the twins in Encore chunky, pale blue and white marled yarn. Kate is knitting the same sweater in darker blue. They will be cute, with hoods and I cord ties.

I am musing over the fact that my first sweater knitting is being done for people I don't even know. Maybe it just helps that I will never have that awkward feeling of wondering if the giftee loves my hand knit work. This group effort is so much fun in itself that if I found my sweaters in a thrift store I would only fleetingly consider never knitting again.
