Here is the picture I promised of Thomas's new sweater. It is, perhaps, a little big.
Thomas is delighted, however, and that makes me very happy. The yarn is nubby and soft. I'm very pleased. He'll enjoy wearing it--when he's, say 12 or 13.
No one grows out of my handknits too fast around THIS house.I started an account on Ravelry so now I'll have to figure out how to put this into the system. I'm not incompetent, technologically speaking, but it takes a lot of concentration for me to learn something new.

Oh. my. goodness. He has the sunniest smile I have ever seen! Great job on making an adorable kid and a great sweater!!
Big sweaters are the way to go for kids! I've heard too many "my kid had outgrown it before I finished knitting it" stories, so whenever I knit something for a kid it's always at least one size too big on purpose!
At least you know he'll get plenty of use from it! I put away the sweater I was making for Knittykid as I knew he'd be able to wear it for about two weeks:-)
super cute pic!
It looks great! My son chews on his sweaters and they're destroyed long before they're grown out of.
I like that color!
