New Pattern! Getting ready for fall.



This is my latest pattern.  It"s a one piece pullover, knit back and forth, then in the round from the top down.  My patterns are very portable since they are all knit in one piece rather than several pieces that need to be sewn together.  I've had lots of ladies tell me they take my patterns on road trips or airplane trips and are very pleased at the ease of transport.  Anyway, back to the pull over pattern, I knit this in cotton (I don't use animal fibers ever, not that I have a problem actually using it, I just don't like the feel of it on my skin and neither do my kids) but I don't see any reason why you couldn't use whatever fiber you prefer, just wash according to the label.





Materials needed:
US size 6 & 8 circular needles, 32 " long
400 (500)(600) yards of worsted weight cotton yarn
Darning needle
2 stitch holders (or two spare sets of smaller circular needles)

You can purchase this pattern for a mere $5.50 in my etsy shop:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/44496247/girls-pullover-knitting-pattern

My middle daughter's work


My kids are so awesome. My little girl (almost 4) took it upon herself the other day to "dye" some yarn, then came running to show me. She dipped and stirred it in water colors. I think she's got a great eye for color.
