I've been Knitting a Sweater

I usually buy the Knit Simple magazine when I have the urge for a new project.  Well, this spring I was instantly taken by the first pattern in the magazine.  The lace detail is a honeybee design that I liked instantly.  Here's how mine turned out.

And now for the back....extra cute....

I started it on May 16th and finished a few days ago.  Yeah!  Don't you love finishing things??

My Sweater, my sweater

Wow, with all the summer time travel I finished all the pieces of my lacy knit sweater.  It's from the spring/summer 2013 issue of Knit Simple magazine.

It's currently drying outside.  Then I will begin sewing it all together.

The Little Apron Project

Is this a cute apron or what?  So practical.  My cousin Melanie gave this to me as a challenge to produce a couple of special aprons for two little girls.  This is one she had and liked so I wrote down the recipe.

This very same cousin took me on an extended shopping trip across the border last month and we got these sweet fabrics.  I am not sure how they will go together but...

Let's see, my DD says that the solid is too strong a contrast...

Melanie says it might be more girly without the solid....

What do you think??
