Now I'm working on Baby Sweaters!


First I made this one. I used the recommended hook. It seemed big when I was making it. But I wasn't sure. Well I ended up trying it on my ds 1 1/2 and it fit. So I will be making a few button adjustments and lengthing it just a little and give it to him. I am also going to look for different trim yarn that has the same feel of the brown yarn. I don't like the transition. And it's too stiff.

Then I went down from a K hook to an I and got a better baby scaled size. Other than I have seams to sew it is about done!!!  Much much better!!!

The pattern is available for free. Baby it's Cold Outside.

I am working on a Hoodie for me...

*** UPDATE- It is finished.  I got it done in exactly 27 days!!! I will post an update tomorrow.
And I agree Colleen it would be beautiful in turquoise.

I am making my first Big project. I loved this Hoodie. I got the pattern from Interweave Crochet Fall 2005 issue.



 

Beginnings. The top 2 photos are from the first days working on the back.

The next photos are from when I have all the pieces of the front and back done. Laying on top of each other.

Thought this was funny.

I would crochet in a box.
I would crochet with a fox.
I would crochet in a house.
I would crochet with a mouse.
I would crochet here or there.
I would crochet anywhere!
I would crochet green eggs and ham.
I do like them, hooker-I-am!
