The Girl Won't Wear Knits...It's the PIts!





Well, I've knit Little Miss Violet a brand new sweater, and she won't wear it. She cries and tries to pull her arms out of the sleeves. I've tried bribing her with "we'll put this on and we'll go outside." It's not working. Not only will she not wear the cute bulky sweater I knit her out of the fun "dancing dogs' circus yarns, but she won't wear ANYTHING that's knit. I also knit her the adorable Anouk jumper from Knitty I think you can see it on MagKnits too.

I thought "well, maybe it's just the items I knit....." I tried the cute domino knit, kool-aid dyed, spun all herself sweater by Sue Thwing today and YIKES! She threw a fit! The only knit items she will wear are HATS! Oh well.

Sage says "Maybe when she's two?!"


Here are pics of the sweater in "dancing dogs." It was a slick project, another from Teva Durham's new book. I'm addicted to her projects!
