The baby recently grew into the robot vest I made for Kiddo when he was her age. (FYI: It’s my Blank Canvas Vest pattern, and the robot chart is included.) She couldn’t care less whether there’s a robot on it or not, but Kiddo certainly does. He wants it back, but won’t even fit over his head. So he’s requested a new one. A BETTER one than that old handmedown his sister has.
He’s had a vision of the perfect sweater vest, and nothing else will do: A robot on the front and stripes on the back. Same colors as his old one. It’s especially important that the robot have red eyes. Which is to say, stay tuned for actual knitting content around here in the coming weeks as I try to get the vest banged out before winter ends.
I love this post. Love the picture. Love the robot envy. Love the kiddo’s design sense. Color me charmed.
That picture is adorable. I love how he knows exactly what he wants on his sweater.
They are both SO adorable! How is that little girl so big already?
I totally relate to this. My kids get really attached to their favorite clothes, too, and I have to smuggle them out of the house when it’s time to ship the hand-me-downs to Janice so my nephew can enjoy them. Still, they see pictures of James wearing the outgrown but dearly beloved Batman shirt or whatever, and I get an outraged “but that’s MY shirt!!!” 🙂
Your son looks so much like you, and your daughter so like your husband!
Adorable! Happy knitting and I hope it flies off the needles for you.
