there are some more creations 
FO: sweaters, vest for my little boy
All your sweaters have wonderful designs and beautiful details. Well done! Thanks for posting the pictures.
thanks! I will post some more as I go along with my two other projects.
Wow! Those sweaters are awesome! You have some mad sweater knitting skills!!
aw, thank you!
It took me some courage to post here after seing all the complicated things people makeā¦ these are easyā¦ Unfortunatelly, I am āpattern challengedā so I just [I]canāt[/I] make myself to follow one (the same goes for food recipes). But I love looking at pictures and āstealingā some ideas. Are there other people who prefer to start with a skein of yarn and donāt really know [I]what[/I] they are making until itās done?
I would like to find a āknitting without patternsā thread but of course with those keywords in the search I get pretty much every thread on this forum
You really do beautiful work! 
I am sure the boys love them!
I love them!

Thatās great. I havenāt lratned to knit without one. That goes for the cooking to.
that would be my mom who is an advanced knitter and a good cook AND my teacher of both!
Wow! I love them all, but I really love the vest. So nice.
I think that the longer you knit, the more youāll discover that people tend to knit certain things well.
I, for instance, am a sock knitter. They come easily for me. However, sweaters? Thatās another thing altogether. Iām petrified of them.
You do wonderful work. Donāt doubt yourself. And, consider yourself fortunate that you can use patterns loosely. Iām a knit-by-the-lines kind of gal. I cannot improvise. That has proven difficult at times.
Give yourself a pat on the back. Youāre doing a great job!
Wow, every single one is just perfect looking. I wish I was that inspired and talented! Great work. Those are just wonderful.
You are so talented! I love all of these! Especially the gray one with the buttonsā¦and the cream one!
Oh my goodnessā¦your work is pricelessā¦and impeccable! I love this collection of sweaters for your son! Fantastic! I canāt say enough! I am very impressed with your ability to pick up the stitches around the neckline! Perfection! Itās always been a critical area, IMHO. (A pet peeve: bad or sloppy neckline pick-ups)[B] [COLOR=Navy]Your work is wonderful.[/COLOR][/B]
I am all blushing and smiling Thank you for your comments on my threads.
As per stitches around the neck, there are a few things that were discovered experimentally Say, I always do the āslip first and purl lastā edge stitch on all edges even for the neck line. However, sometimes itās better to [I]knit[/I] the last to make this long stitch, not the twisted one. So the whole edge looks like a chain, like an edge stitch. Sorry, if itās confusing, I think I should make a video at some point
So usually, when picking up stitches I go under this edge stitch, leaving both loops on the wrong side. And I pick as many stitches as there are loops, thatās it.
But just a few days ago I discovered a secret, sort of āreverse engineeredā it from the sweater someone made for me as I was frogging it to make, ahem, a lilac sweater. It also had the same round āroll typeā collar made with stockinette stitch (please, insert the proper name for it in the comments)
So, the stitches were picked up [I]through [/I] the edge stitch, leaving one loop on the right side and one on the wrong side. So loop on the right side serves as āpaddingā and leaves no holes, and the one on the wrong side looks like a line and doesnāt stick out.
Wonderful work. With skill like this who needs to follow a pattern?
I love your neck treatment on the first sweater, but my favorite is the ragg looking one with the button placket at the shoulder. Very rugged and masculine looking for a little outdoor boy. Simple but I love it.
Good work on all of them.
Iāve seen a few other items by you and your work is amazing, always, but I think youāve outdone yourself on these sweaters. They are wonderful pieces and Iām sure your son will love them.
As for being someone to work without patterns, when it comes to crochet I definitely do that for most things as I have a hard time following a pattern too. (I often get lost in it, forget where I left off when I put it down, etc.) But as of yet, I donāt know enough about knitting to be able to do that as much. Right now Iām working without a pattern on a kitchen hand towel that will button onto my apron. So, yes, there is someone else around here that likes to just see what comes off the hookā¦ erā¦ needles.
Isnāt it funny when you make a āgrown upā outfit for a little one? I am a bit fed up with Doras and Diegos and Carsā¦ but I also dislike āsexyā outfits for little girls. Tacky! So this is my middle ground
