Knitting for boys can be boring. Mine seems to want something simple, not too flashy, and with plain colors or stripes (and of course skulls, but we can't adorn everything we wear with skulls now can we). This means stockinette, garter stitch, or some simple stitch pattern that is monotonous, and seemingly never-ending.
Then again, once you get something that mindless on the needles, it seems to fly off in record time. Especially if you've got a Stitch n Bitch to bring it to.
This little number was made in approximately 4 days start to finish and the little lad wore it proudly to school on the 5th day exclaiming to his teacher "Het is net klaar!" (It is just finished!)
For the knitting nerds:
Top Down, in the round, Cascade 220, size 7/8 US size 4.5/5 mm metric. Less than 3 skeins total.

Heel mooi! En wat ziet mijn oog? Mooie strengetjes op je spinnewiel? :)
Ha! Yeah, maar dat is de eerste, vreselijke zelfgesponne wol von mij. Dus ik kan op mijn nieuwe en oude zelfgesponne wol en elkaar te kijken.
Makes me feel like I've learned something!
