If a person gives you his time, he can give you no more precious gift.

Last week, I knit this child’s size 8 Wonderful Wallaby. This is a hooded sweater with a front pouch. The pattern is designed by Carol Anderson at Cottage Creations. This pattern is such fun to knit. There are no seams and just a little bit of Kitchner stitch joining under the arms and at the top of the hood. Construction begins at the bottom and the pouch is knit as you work your way up to the underarms. Then the sleeves are knit in the round from the cuffs to the underarms. The yoke is knit across sleeve and body stitches with raglan decreases. The hood continues on from the neck stitches, knitting back and forth. The pattern book includes directions for sizes from infant through very large adult. Just Google Carol Anderson+Cottage Creations to find sources where the pattern can be purchased.
Knitting, writing and other joys 
Katherine Carol Anderson taught our DKG retreat once and she has such a knowledge of what busy grandmas need. I made for twins boy and girl years ago so when mom car pooled she just slipped in and off . Thanks I have new one who could use. Barbara
I like everything about this sweater! Thanks for the info.
Your wallaby is lovely, Katherine! I must start on several more now that I have one under my belt… Lots of ‘grands’ to knit for these days and 2 more on the way.

Aren’t those fun to knit? I did one for Andrew but had to leave off the hood. They can’t wear them on the playground at school because of chocking hazard with playground equipment. He carries his to school in his backpack so he wont have to wear a coat when the days warm up and he only needs a sweater at lunch.
Love the red.

Oh! It’s…well, “wonderful”!
