My Ribby Cardi



Date started: March 23, 2005
Date finished: June 11, 2005
Price: $75.23

Pattern: Ribby Cardi (Chicknits.com)
Yarn: Rowan's All Seasons Cotton; True Blue (165), Dusk (219).

This was my first sweater, and it took a while.. but I think it turned out better than I expected! This project was supposed to be a ton cheaper than it ended up being. The majority of the cost turned up because of Dusk. (The sleeve color) I ended up using way more of it than I thought I would, so I didn't order the balls all together online. True Blue was a steal on Ebay though, if I make another one, I'll try my darndest to get both colors on Ebay.

I do think it was all worth it.. So many people have been impressed and I learned so many new things.. I was so scared of making a sweater.. but now I know I can do it, and I'm ready for more! (Just.. not till it's closer to winter! lol!)

Sydni's Baby Blankie



Date started: August 10, 2004
Date finished: September 4, 2004
Price: $71.28

Pattern: Peaches (From Rowan's Pipsqueaks Pg. 79)
Yarn: Rowan Handknit DK Cotton; Rosso (215), Linen (205), Ice Water (239), Tope (253), Galaxy (308).

This was my first expensive project.. (Atleast, I think it was expensive) I knitted it before my female cousin Kelly had her baby. I picked the colors according to the nursery she showed me which was designed in a kind of old style Americana way.. (Thus the muted red, whites, and blues.) I think she liked it : ) And Sydni looks SO cute!



And she is also wearing one of the hats I made out of the same yarn for her for Christmas : ) Sydni has her hand in Mammy's pocket.. hee.
