Higgins' mom..thanks for the encouragement and the links!
I tried to crochet the other day, but it felt so awkward with just one needle. Here's the link to the easy sweater. All you really need to know how to do is the rib knit, stockinette stitch, how to increase, and casting on and off!!

I also knit Otis a SUPER cute scarf with a little pompom on the end. My camera is recharging so I will post pix of that later!
