Can you see how busy our friend Annemarie's been! 2 scarves, 3 hats, 2 pairs of mittens, and an adorable sweater. All beautifully made, all made with love and thoughtfulness. Annemarie.....love love love the sweater. What pattern did you use? Can you share it? My quess is this would be sized right for a 8 yr old? Maybe older? Just eye balling it, as they say. Would love to know what size you made so I can tag it that way.Many thanks for your skillful hands. Keep up the good work!!

ReplyDeleteThe sweater is called "Lacy Sweater" and can be found at www.FreePatterns.com. I made it in a small. Not sure what number size it would be.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful work AnneMarie. Can you tell me the height and width of the brown shades afghan? I think I may be able to quickly do something like that but no bigger.
ReplyDeleteI believe the brown afghan was about 30x36. It didn't take long to make. I kept going until I ran out of yarn.
ReplyDeleteAll the things you've made are really pretty, Annemarie! You inspire us!
