Twins

Hi Everyone,

Joe and I went to a Quilt Show at Sauder Village in April.  I had intended to post pics of the show, however my nephew's wife delivered twins, just a few days after we returned home.  So, the quilt show took second place to the set of sweaters I had been working onfor the twins.  Because they came six weeks early, I was not finished. 

The twins will be staying in the hospital for a while.  They were born April 29, at that time I only had one sweater completed, so I gave Erin (twins' mom) the one sweater with the promise that I would finish the other soon.  Because the babies were to be in June I made a six month size, I did not think they would need sweater in the summer.
This is the bonnet for the sweater (for Ava) that I gave Erin after the babies were born.
Here is the sweater set for Henry, I finished on May 8, however I was not able to get to the store to get the ribbon until this past Saturday.  I am going to send them off to them tomorrow.

This was a fairly easy pattern,  knit 3, purl 3 for four rows and then reverse purl 3, knit 3.  The structure makes me think of weaving which of course makes me happy.

Hopefully I will get pictures up of the quilt show soon.  It was a great show!
