I have been looking for one for several years. I saw a pattern in Family Circle Knits several years ago but couldn't find it. I think this will work for me. I have two great-nephews who live in Eagleville, CA on a working ranch. They love everything about animals and seemingly have no fear of the horses, cattle, chickens, calves etc. Austin will only wear western style shirts and stovepipe Levi's; Casey hasn't found a preference yet. The sweaters will be late Christmas gifts. It is quite cold where they live - high desert. Again, thank you for the pattern. Thank you for the cowboy jacket pattern.

I learned because my wrists hurt knitting the English way. I found out about continental a while after teaching myself to knit and I was always discouraged with it because I couldn't continental knit as fast as I could with throwing. This past week I just sat myself down and made myself practice until I was up to speed and I'm not going back. lol I love crochet. I actually wish I had learned continental at first because I've been crocheting for much, much longer. It would've been an easier transition.
