#8 The Tale of a Crazy Knitting Mother

Once there was a crazy knitter women, who descided that she would knit jumpers for her family for Christmas.

Now this crazy knitter women is also a mother herself.

And asked dear darling 2.8year old son to pop in on and model it so she could take a few pictures.

Now,  All was going well. He moved this way and that. Smiled at the camera and did cute posses.

  

The problem lay with the crazy knitter women.

You see - this particular day was a rather hot and humid day.  Building up for the storm of all storms (the first for the upcoming summer) and the thermometer read at 29 Degrees Celsius.

All was going well, until. The little boy* in the Worsted Weight Jumper started to over heat.  Yelling out "HOT" and dropping himself to the ground.

Crazy knitter Mother whipped it off of him.  Gave him a hug and a nice cool drink.

So - Christmas gift #1 is off of the needles.  Looking forward to gifting this one.  I am thinking that I will have to put a little toy in the gift as well - I dont want my nieces and nephews growing up thinking that they have a crazy Aunt.
