My brother, Mason, for months has been begging me to make him a sweater. So, researching for the hardiest yarn I could find - I used Rowan Denim to create him the following sweater.
(He doesn't look very happy, does he.)
I used as a basis for this pattern, the Hoodie pattern from Debbie Stoller's Son of Stich 'n Bitch. - I made a number of changes, including making the hoodie a zip-up, adding the cable pattern, which I found in Vogue Stitionary II, as the Snake.
He has not been very patient for this to get done, but he is very excited to have it now!
Here is a close-up of the yarn and a bit of the cabling. I have loved working with this yarn, and I am planning on making a skirt now!-

Oh my goodness! That sweater is great! You are a very nice sis. I don't think I would have ever gone through the trouble to make any of my brothers something like this. Maybe my dad.
Terrific!
adorable.
and yeah, mason is definitely not known for his being patient.
The hoodie sweater is fantastic. He has such a nice sister!
Wow! It looks great Shelbie! How lucky Mason is to have all those sisters to take care of him!
That looks really great! And such a willing model. Super job!
That's really beautiful! And I think Mason looks very handsome - and about as smiley as all the teenage boys I know - he's being sophisticated ;-) Are you going to knit a skirt in that wool - yum! Can't wait to see it!
Wow that is a wonderful sweater. And what beautiful work. You are such a great sister to do that for him!!!
very impressive! the sweater looks great. i'm really impressed that you have the skills to make something so professional looking that a teenage boy will wear. that's talent.
No, he didnt look too happy, but you did a good job.
Terrific sweater from a Terrific and Talented Sister! I loved it!
I'm lucky to get a smile from my one boy too but, I'm sure he's smiling inside!
