First Knitting Project

Here he is and his first official knitting project.
My son Ben wanted to learn to crochet but could never get the hang of it. When I started knitting he wanted to learn that too and did succeed in getting the hang of it. He made many little guage squares and such but this was his first official project.

It's pretty long messuring 70 in in length. He kept wanting to be finished but then tried it on and decided it wasn't long enough yet.

His guage is pretty good and his favorite yarn Caron Jewel Box in Jade, helped keep him focussed on his project. He finished it the week they went back to school for Christmas break and was so proud to show his class what he had done on their week off.
