Knitting for Seven - Multiple Sweaters in Kid-Proof Acrylics MrsMay Yarns, Linda Maintanis

My mother made sweaters for me. And for my three children. And for their cousins.

She also taught me to knit. And eventually I knit sweaters for my own children.
So it just seemed natural that I would knit for my grandchildren too.

First time around were these comfy cable-knit sweaters in cream. With a hint of "Irish" style, these sweaters were knit using
Lion Brand Baby Soft acrylic? At the time I think I made these sweaters for four of the grandchildren.

With the passage of time there were three more grandchildren. Oh yes, I knit hats and mittens for them, and little toy animals. But I knew it was time for more sweaters.

That's how the navy project began. With four of them starting parochial school it seemed the best choice. Navy V-neck sweaters, again acrylic.
But this time six of them. I used the Brunswick Volume 656 for both patterns, the navy being a simple cable sweater, this time using Wool-Ease yarn.

The project is now complete, and nobody goes to the same school anymore. The sweaters are still going strong. Here is one of the cuties wearing her cozy sweater!
