So a group of friends and I get together for coffee once a week and over the years we've tried to make some of these nights productive ~ scrapbooking, card making, sewing, quilting, and our latest endeavor was knitting. So I picked out a sweater pattern for Justin and got started. I soon came to realize though that this is not my favorite thing to do, and one evening a week was not getting this project done anytime soon, or at least before he'd outgrow it. So when we went to visit my Oma recently, I was thankful for her willingness to take over the sweater for me. I had managed to get the back piece and half an arm done, but in no time at all, my sweet Oma had the whole thing finished and on its' way back to me. Thanks Oma for doing a beautiful job on another sweater for one my kids!

Oh it's great! You were very brave to attempt a sweater. I stick with hats and scarves mostly. Occasionally I'll do a blanket, socks or gloves.
It's a beautiful sweater, Rebecca. Very nice to have Oma's like that.
So, when we are old and have lots more sit-down time, let's knit sweet sweaters for our grandchildren, okay? :-)
The sweater is so cute! :)
i stick to scarves and little baby boots, the only time i attempted a sweater it got cast aside and all the money i spent in whool is still there, waiting for me.
the sweater is great and it's the thought that counts anyway, so partly is made by you. also, i love the photos, he looks like a top model!!!
My mom is an Oma too! Aren't they just the best grandmas :)
I have an Oma too :) how nice that she could finish it for you
