Ok -- So here's another example of a complicated knit for my kids that they will soon grow out of. Although I made this one pretty big so Max will wear it for more than one season, and I may even get little Clara to wear it in a few years.
This design was by Debbie Bliss. I am a big fan of her patterns.

This Aran is from Knitting the New Classics by Kristin Nicholas (p34). It was my first big cable project and came out a bit too small. It fits him now but I really would've liked it to be a little bigger so he could wear it next winter too. That's the tough thing about knitting complex patterns for kids-- they grow out of them so fast !! And Clara won't wear it (she won't wear anything that's not in the pink family). I suppose I will give it to the next little boy that arrives in my circle of pregnant neighbors. And from now on I am sticking to simple but sweet for my kids!!
