Thank you to everyone who reads my blog. I spent a long weekend this month in the local mountains with family. They all ski and I don’t (I am the hot tub type) but I still love to be out and about amidst the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
The first day we were there the weather was a little overcast, but I happened to be out walking just as the sun was breaking through the afternoon cloud cover. This really is one of the prettiest places on earth as long as you own long underwear, warm boots and a good jacket!
I have been playing with kid’s sweaters again and, although I don’t have photos of all of the ones that I have made, I think that this one is close to my favourite. I use a basic pullover pattern and then sit down and let my imagination go to work. The appliques are both knit and crocheted as the mood strikes; everyone is different.
This style of sweater, whether pullover of cardigan, is a hit with the little ones. I stick to baby to size four in this style as the older kids are usually too cool for this design.
Work up your favourite pattern and give it a try! These are fine knits but a worsted yarn will look great too.
Have a great week and happy crafting.
