We had a terrific downpour this morning at about 5am (at which point Richard and I jumped up out of bed and raced around closing windows!) and the weather cooled right down -- enough that I had to put a sweater on Maja. Now, this little red sweater is still way too big for Maja, but I knit it when I was pregnant with her, held off until her birthday (April) to give it to her... and well, now (August!) it's still too big. sigh. It's been waiting in the wings for sometime now and I keep waiting for an excuse to have her wear it!
It's a Debbie Bliss pattern and was very easy and quick to knit.

Maja looks good in red. Like her Omi (hi mom!). Maybe she has got some Grotewold in her afterall... I keep looking for some Strieck/Grotewold resemblence in Maja but have trouble finding it ... she's all King from her button nose and dimples down to her toes. :)
