Friday finishes

I finished this small sweater/vest recently for my 12 year old.

She's happy to wear it...

AND...

I'm happy it FITS!!!

UNLIKE sewing...

You NEVER really know until it's ALL done and

OFF the needles!!

The pattern is here.

Many of the Ravelers added cast on stitches to make it fit an adult.

;)

I hope to try that soon.

SO many PROJECTS I want to make......

;/

While I was knitting...

the nurse who has been working with me was crocheting THIS!!!

She dug through my stash of yarn

and came up with this wonderful blanket!

It was made with a basic crochet stitch and then

the BRIGHT colors were chain stitched FIRST and then woven through.

She finished it off with a bright blue border to hide the woven ends.

I am SO tempted to copy this project!!!

Happy Friday!

Hope the weekend brings you TIME to MAKE!

Monday Making

What are you making this week??

I'm getting to the very end of a small vest for my 12 year old.

The pattern was written for a one skein shrug...

but I found lots of knitters had lengthened it

and made it more of a vest.

The pattern is HERE.

A whopping 1439 people have made it! 

;)

I'd LOVE to be quilting...!!!

but life has me away from home more frequently these days.

Knitting is so much easier to manage.

Link up and share any creative pursuit.
