I think I like your sons.
Katherine JCT wrote: Thanks -- I suspect I had better check in with the boys before I get any yarn. I have a hard time keeping up with what they consider good lookiing. I must admit that I do better with hats and sweaters than with tunes though. The younger of the two is likely to wear almost anything (he actually turns 30 in August) - and used to have a costume for any occasion. (He is a high tech librarian by trade (mostly data bases instead of books - though he loves real books) Once he asked me to make him a "Sneetches" sweater - you know from the Dr Seuss book - with a star on the belly. The older one runs a recording studio and I doubt if he owns a tie or a sport coat. He does tend to wear dark colors. My DH wears conventional men's clothes - though he is more than twice as old as your husband. (He wore them at 30 as well, though.) He has been after me to make him a classic cabled vest in color like a bing cherry. |

Judy Hi Judy, Well, I asked my 30-something husband and he said it was okay but didn't really do anything for him He couldn't really describe what it was he didn't like about it but I would guess that it is the ribs. He generally likes very plain clothing so if your sons aren't quite so boring in their clothing tastes they might like the sweater just fine! (He just read this over my shoulder and is upset that I called him 30-something since he's not even turning 31 til next month - details, details!). Uh-oh! Mid-life crisis already! g Katherine LOL! No kidding! He also sits on the porch yelling at the people who drive too fast down the street. He's going to be a great cranky old man! LauraJ |
