Knitting? Who knew?

I just want you to know that I'm thinking of you and your complete boredom level and have opted to show you a piece of mediocre knitting that I just completed in lieu of sharing a photo of the ever-growing pile of 2 1/2" strips of fabric that are being sewn together.  Aren't you glad?  Even better, I'm sure, is the lack of mathematical formulas for you to ponder!!

This is a little sweater I made for our grandson - it's nothing fancy.  As a matter of fact, I'm quite hopeful that when (if!) he wears it that it will still be cool enough for him to also be beneath a blanket so nobody has to see it.  Oh well - it's the thought that counts, right?  Maybe he'll feel a little of the grandma-love that went into it and not mind that it looks dorky.

PLEASE don't click to embiggen!!

    How wonderful and thoughtful of you!
    It's always hard keeping little ones warm in winter and sweaters are just the thing.

    I confess.....I clicked on your cardigan to "embiggen". I think you are being too hard on yourself, it's very sweet. Your grandson will definitely feel the love of his grandma!

    I think it's beautiful. Hand knit baby clothes are priceless, traditional, comforting....

    Hi Mary Anne, I think your knitting is very sweet and you are very modest bearing in mind all the skills you clearly have!

    Your baby cardigan is lovely, nothing wrong with it at all.
    I imagine his parents will agree with all your followers and love it too.

    grandma to another, I think your sweater is beautiful and its easy to see all the love that went into it.
