i finished all of the easter knitting and here is the proof that what i knit was actually worn on easter:

william and jackson wore their vests on a very warm sunday morning in alabama while visiting mimi and pop.  they don’t look especially happy about it here but i know they had a great time until the drive home.  the normal three hour drive turned into a 6 hour nightmare with traffic and who knows what all.  most important, everyone arrived home safe and sound and more than a little tired.

meanwhile, in denver, it was snowing on easter and 20 something degrees.  still:

elleigh wore her easter dress with the little shrug i made to go with it and probably a very warm coat on top!  reuben’s sweater out of the rowan cotton denim did shrink but not enough.  he will have to save it to wear when he is a little bigger:

the sweater was machine washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer.  it is incredibly soft – just a little too big still.  i guess that is the main objection to this yarn – while the ball band does describe the shrinkage it is a little hard to get it exactly right.  at least it is not too small!
