Winding Path Complete!

It took about one month, but my first sweater is complete!  This is the Winding Path pattern from Wenlan Chia, as featured in 50 Reversible Knits.

You can see in my photos how the neck can be worn as the body.  Very clever idea, but I much prefer it with the stockinette body and big ribbed neck.  This sort of defeats the whole point of the 'winding path' though!  I also want to add a few inches to the stockinette, since it rolls.  And to the sleeves.  

Flipped upside down- so cozy!!

I love the color and I love how warm the sweater is!  All in all, I'm very pleased with my first try and I can't wait to make another sweater.  Well, maybe for next fall and winter!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yesterday I made this little cardigan for Aevyn to wear for her Valentine's ice cream party at school.  

Rosey Cardi

I bought the shirt from Walmart and sewed folded rectangles of fabric to make the roses.  I lined the back side with felt.

Ahhh, love!!!!

In other crafts, I finished my sweater!!!

I'll post picture soon and share some final thoughts on it.  I'm actually wearing it today and it's so cozy!  When Aevyn came out of school she saw it and just hugged me.  So soft it begs to be hugged!

So, go hug and kiss someone you love and have a wonderful day!
