I just finished the last of the sweater jackets that I am making for the granddaughters for Christmas. I just finished Annie's, my youngest granddaughter. It looks so cute. I am happy to be finished with this project.

| Annie is just 13 months now, so this is much smaller than the others. It barely fit the hanger, as you can see, the arms are sticking way out. |

| I made a little mistake in the back of the sweater. I was suppose to do short rows with four new stitches each time, but I did it with two new stitches, and so the back is longer in the middle than it should be. It still looks okay, but the back is quite a bit longer than the front and it should only be a little bit longer like with the other sweaters. |
I am now ready to get back to the grandsons' jackets that I am sewing on the machine. I still need to cut them out and sew them. I wanted to finish the first two to see if they would come out the right size. I need to use a whole new pattern for the two that are left. I hate starting with a new pattern because I don't like finding the pieces on the big sheets of pattern and having to cut them out to start putting them on the material. It always takes more time than I like to devote to it. But, since I am not good at enlarging patterns, I will need to do it to get the right size for the older boys. I also need to get to work on something for the men. I have decided to do hats. Some will be slouchies (probably two) and the other three will be regular hats. I'm glad that the women's gifts are already finished, which I will blog after Christmas.
