I Could Go For Miles and Miles...

Miles and miles of stockinette, at any rate:

It's actually a greener color than that. A really cool color. And it's really not miles and miles. But there are two sleeves, a back, and about two-thirds of a hood. And a front:

That's the great thing about sweaters for small children. (At least when they don't have crazy intarsia things going on in them.) You can knit them up really fast. Especially if you have two days off from work and barely leave the house. I could use more weekends like that. Seriously, if I didn't have to pay for the apartment, the electricity to run the TV, the light to knit by, the yarn, the food, etc., I'd just quit the job and sit around and knit all the time.

Well, probably not, but on some levels, isn't it a great thought? Nothing to do but knit... bliss!
