For grandson #3

Used up some more of my scrap yarn to make a wee sweater for our #3 grandson....some of the colours are the same as the sweater I just made for his older brother....

The pattern is the same as the sweater I posted about a couple of days ago and the yarn is also Paton's Canadiana.  I know it's going to be too large for him to wear for a little while but perhaps by next winter it will be perfect.  

And....the mailman brought this.....


Enough for two pairs of socks (on the left);  upper middle is Scrubby yarn to make some dish scrubbers (perhaps for the Christmas box);  the green on the right is for a sweater for #1 grandson; and the orange....well, you're just going to have to wait and see what I'm making!.

Today the quote is from Desmond Tutu..."Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world"

Stay safe. Stay well.

    1. Patons makes great yarn for things like this project where the little one is going to grow out of it long before it stands a chance of being worn out.

  2. You sure knit a wonderful sweater and in record time. Knitting must be your SuperPower! Wait...CQ is your SuperPower. But Wait...Quilted Landscapes are your SuperPower. Oh Dear You are Amazing! Fun links and I need to get back to organizing The Vault. I do believe every good done no matter the size is very important. <3

    1. Not so much record time with knitting - just took time to get the photos posted here. I knit in the evenings and do needlework during the daylight hours.

  3. The sweaters are adorable for the kids to share colors!
    The colored bottles in the fence is a fantastic idea!

    1. I like the bottle idea - would be fun for school kids to do I think. At least it would keep the empty bottles out of the landfill!

    1. Thanks Janie. I imagine I'll see pictures of him wearing it at some point. New yarn - haven't had any for quite awhile so it was pretty exciting when I opened the box!

    1. Yes, this sweater was made from leftover leftovers. The yarn was leftover and I made our middle grandson the sweater I posted about the other day and then this sweater was made from the leftover of THAT sweater. So does that make it 3xleftover?
