An uncle’s love
You know those uncles who just LIVE to torture you? My mom and my brother came over yesterday to help with the move (by taking big piles of stuff away to my mom’s in Jersey–thanks again!). Sadie loves her uncle Joel and was thrilled to see him–even when he discovered that the sleeve of the sweater I made him was just the right width to completely envelop the poor dog’s head. (Don’t worry. She actually loved it.)
Yes, I finally gave my brother his sweater. Here we are, modelling our somewhat matching knitwear. (They both came out of my temporary obsession with asymmetrical striping.) I was all flustered by moving stuff (hence the state of the apartment) and didn’t even bother to tug my sweater into place before my mom snapped the shot. And the flash made my brother’s white tee shirt come screaming through his sweater. So what I’m trying to say is here’s a not-great picture, but I’m in a sharing mood so I’ll let you see it anyway:
Oh, and here he is in the matching watch cap I made for him the other day. Can you tell that the dogs just can’t stand their uncle Joel?
It looks great on him! Wow–I keep forgetting how hugely tall he is. And yes, clearly not loved at all by the pups : )

Nice photo of you and your big (enormous) brother. I love the one with Sadie’s disappearing head, too. Yay, photos! Yay, sweaters! And your dogs crack me up.

To second Rachael: I totally get the sweater and the frustrating neck decreases now. But what a sweater! What a pair of sweaters together! Great pictures–thanks for sharing them!
