Thanks to Stefaneener for patiently repeating the name of this great top-down pattern she had recommended for probably 2 years before I managed to give it a try. Now I can't seem to knit anything else.
Ryan has been snatching and threatening to permanently tangle, I mean play with this bright orange cotton yarn since I bought it in the fall at the Wool Gathering. Finally used it for the first top-down sweater and it was a joy to knit, even in cotton, which I don't usually love.
After it was knit up, the bright orange looked even brighter, but it's perfect for the kid who likes to run off in public regularly. The cotton is right, too, because he always runs very warm. Sometimes he wears the sweater alone. This is Ryan on his fifth birthday.
