Test knitting this for Alicia Plummer. This one will be for my Ronan. I will make one for Seamus next month.

This was a definite success! After trying it on last night, Ronan asked if I could add an “R” to the front. He wanted it on the belly and big but I talked him down and we agreed on a smaller one on his chest. My “R” is a little rough but he LOVES it and wore it to school with pride this morning! I’m so in love with this pattern! The yarn for Seamus’s is back ordered so I won’t get to knit his for some time. I’m hoping I can his done before Easter.

--I’m adding some contrast to the ribbing and collar.

02/04/13 - the body and ribbing are finished. I will need to set this aside for the week as a I have a blanket to work up before Sunday!
