As always, I am popping in to say hi and show my last FO. Our family is a bit crazy about dinosaurs so there you go. This version (it’s a second sweater with the same pattern) is a bit less detailed due to gauge but it’s sooo warm. Also, the original sweater has brown instead of black and looks more like a silhouette with the sunset on the background. Well, that’s what I was going for anyway
Since I mentioned the original design, that’s what it looks like. I am debating leaving it as a vest… What do you think, sleeves or no sleeves?
OMG that is adorable and so is your son!
My opinion on sleeves is if it’s cold enough to wear a warm sweater you’re probably going to want sleeves. It looks cute either way though.
A superb sweater, Olha! Lovely work! Looks like you block your work, too!
My vote: [B]add the sleeves [/B]to the brown-pumpkin-white ‘vest’. Without sleeves it looks overall like a woman’s sleeveless tank, something about the shape of it, regardless of the dinosaur…it looks feminine.
I vote for sleeves, too. Sounds like you need them! Now, if you were in a nice, mostly-warm place (like Texas), I would say skip them. But you’re not. So, yeah, sleeves!
Both sweaters are adorable and so well done. Your son is the perfect model, just as cute as could be. Lovely work (and yes, sleeves on the second sweater).
Very cool concept and wonderful execution! This reminds me a little bit of the “Solar System Sweater” a friend of ours made for her son who’s around the same age.
As for the sleeves/no sleeves question, I’m gonna concur with Jan. If it’s cold enough to warrant a warm sweater, you’re probably going to want sleeves.
Thanks! Sleeves then. To ArtLady – I think it is the round neck and the ‘round’ apperance because of the couch cushions. It’s actually quite ‘tall’ and ‘thin’ but you woudn’t say from the picture.
Most likely this sweter will stay in a ziploc bag till next season – it’s too big for my son but my dinosaur-loving daughter rejected in on the basis of being ‘for boys’
p.s. It’s nice to ‘hang out’ here with you even when it’s a rare occasion
