Son, Jesse, brought along his cable skull sample to show me at Christmas. He's been working out a way to create the front of a pirate themed sweater (for himself, presumably) and wanted to work out the details on the skull and crossbones inset. He's as far as the cranium, but was unhappy with the gap where the cables close off to form top. I thought he did a fine job (but then again, I AM his mother!). As far as the subject matter goes.......well, I'd prefer he find a more uplifting topic. Oh well. I pray alot for this one.

He also brought along his girlfriend, Amanda, a new knitter. She's taken off like a house afire. Apparently his teaching her to knit was part of their courtship......how sweet!
