Too Cute!

Here is Miss Meli wearing her Pooh Sweater. It's made from Bernat Chunky and I used the pattern on the wrapper. I've used the pattern several times and it's worked out well. Winnie's pattern is actually a cross stitch chart that I've used before. I wasn't sure he'd fit with this chuncky yarn - so glad he did. The biggest problem I had was with my tension. I used a 4.5 mm needle and didn't do the increases in order to get the proper size. The FO measured perfectly with the pattern's measurements. There's also a hat to go with this and I look forward to seeing Meli wearing it someday. Her birthday party was such fun . . . and now she's three! Posted by Picasa

OK - here is the poncho that I crocheted for my niece, Sophie. Frankly, making this confirmed that I am a KNITTER! This was a bit too fussy for me - even though I was SO happy with the results.













Meanwhile, our cool Knitting Group has started up again. We met on Thursday and had "show and tell". Here Gloria is modelling her beautiful sweater - which was a bit of a group project (with Gloria doing all the work!). The photo doesn't really show the beautifufl cables and detail. It fits perfectly and we were all sooooo excited over it. Posted by Picasa

Great pattern

Here's a sweater I made for my new nephew "down under". I found the pattern online and really enjoyed making it. I'm all for no seams! If you'd like to see the pattern, click here. Posted by Picasa
