Sweaters and Hats Done!

Grand son's hat with frogs and dragonflies: my first attempt to do circular knitting...it was fun!
All yarns gleaned at garage sales and thrift stores...buttons from novelties at Michael's. Grand daughter's hat to match the sweater I blogged earlier. Her hat is crocheted and the sweater is knit but with this bouce yarn it's hard to see a difference. I know she'll like all the hearts and butterflies and bugs on her sweater and hat. These will be 4th birthday gifts next month!
I make a new set each year and my knitting just keeps getting
better and better. (I taught my self to knit when they were born).
Frogs are a favorite!

Both sweaters got 2 pockets for their goodies. Kids love pockets!

    I do have fun doing all that I do for and with my grandkids. They came to earth to make my life a true blessing and it is! I am just giving back what I am getting.
