And Matty's vest is just beautiful . . . makes me almost want to copycat you. Also, I love that picture of Rosie in Lindsay's beret . . . hee!
Great work as always. Ever since you visited, I've been inspired to knit. I just never seem to have 2 free hands :-( Keep showing me your beautiful work, and keep the inspiration alive!

Love the pirate hat - I'll make one some day!
Posted by Kathy at February 29, 2008 12:51 PMIt is absolutely normal to threaten not to knit for your husband if things aren't working out like you thought. It took over a year for my husband to get his second sock! The man has unusually shaped toes. Totally his fault, not mine. :o)

Wonderful work Nanc. Each of these creations-- especially Matty's vest -- is even more beautiful in person.
