For a few moments of insanity (and because I wanted to see how they looked being worn), I tried using Charlie as my model. The somewhat disturbing results were not due to my knitting!
He was not enthused with being forced to wear girl clothes.
(Nor was his father...)
(Isn't this a cute top, though? I really love how the sleeves turned out.)
Run away, run away!
The valid question: why are boys clothes so boring that I'm even tempted to knit girls clothes and try them on my son in the first place? I need to find some serious boy inspiration over here!

Or this is a sign that a girl is on the way?
I agree - in some ways girl clothes are more fun. But now that I have a girl and an older boy, I have to say the shoes is on the other foot. I like buying clothes for Peter now because A they're very straight forward and B he has things he like - not clothes per se, but things - fish, monkeys etc and I can buy him things he wants to wear. For Moira I often just feel overwhelmed. You have to buy "Outfits" that involve way more pieces than boys clothing and cost more $$$$ even for the same piece (shirts are $10 on sale while girls are $12 - seriously), and then everything has to match. It gets a ltitle buts.
Charlie, you are beautiful!! :)
That is an adorable shirt.
I know a few girls who would love to wear your work if you need someone to knit for! :)
Like I've said before...Keren you should make a knitting book. You would be superstar of the knitting world :)
I find that I'm always buying boy clothes for birthdays, because it gives me a chance to indulge in cute boy clothes. So maybe the grass is greener? But seriously, men don't generally like any gussing up on their things and that makes it a bit boring for us a girls!
