It's taken a while, but finally J's jumper is now completed. This was in fact my last finish for 2009, and I can't say I am sorry to see the end of it. Why is it that boys of a certain age like black!
Seeing it laid out complete, I can't get over how much he has grown. Who would have believed that when he was born, he was a little scrap of six and a half pounds, with no fat on him at all. I mean no fat, he didn't even have cheeks on his bum, because he had got so starved. He's definitely made up for that in the 13 years since, and now I am having to knit almost man sized jumpers for him.
Now this one is done, I have D's to do. Thankfully, it's not black, but it is aran, and has a cable pattern. I am going to try and get as much done as I can before they get home, this one isn't going to be so easy to pick up and put done between them coming in and out.

Well done!
The good thing about boys when they bigger is their clothes will fit us!!! I love man-sized jumpers lol
Well done on the sweater! I'm sure he's going to love it! :0)
A lovely sweater. Enjoy your next one, I love aran knitting as I don't get bored.
A very nice man-sized sweater. So many beautiful colors in the world and they all prefer black. Go figure. But you are a good mom to make him what he likes.
Have a great 2010.
Hello Jane, I wish you and your family a lovely Happy and Healthy New Year. The sweater is wonderful and I am sure you son will love it. Hugs Judy
It's a beautiful jumper, Jane. I'm looking forward to seeing the Aran one, too.
Happy New Year.
Congratulations on your finish and a Happy and Healthy New Year with a lot of crafting!
