A First
Here is the result of my very first attempt at spinning enough of the same thing in order to make a garment bigger than a pair of socks. It started out as a rather tiny shrug and kept growing as I happily discovered I had more than enough yarn to make an entire full length raglan cardigan. I even have enough to make longer sleeves but I am rather liking the shorter ones. It has that Baby Surprise Jacket look that I think works well with the variegated colors in the yarn. I also added wider front bands to get some additional closure as I am not a big fan of having the girls on display even if the girls are nothing to brag about. The cute little thing actually fits but I have nothing to put under it at the moment that looks right-so the mug shot is a long ways off yet.

ReplyDeleteThat's a nice color. It almost blends in with the deck. By the way, you should re-finish the deck.
ReplyDeleteI love it! The colors are great and I can't wait to see what it looks like on you.
ReplyDeleteDid Zak just volunteer to re-finish the deck?
ReplyDeleteI think he did!
ReplyDelete(And lovely sweater. Can't wait to see it modeled. Of course, not having anything to go under it is just an excuse to go shopping, right?)
