#1: Romper; Perfect as is! Length in the legs for a growing girl.
Pattern: Gift Wrap Romper & Sweater by Carina Spencer from Gift Wrap Collection eBook;
Yarn: Encore Colorspun Worsted by Plymouth Yarn, Worsted / 10 ply, 75% Acrylic, 25% Wool 200 yards
#2: Scarf with Sprinkles; an interesting pattern done in mosaic colorwork. Didn't get a finished picture... One end is attached to the bow, and other end threads through behind the bow.
Pattern: Sprinkles & Squares Scarf by Pam Powers from Art Fiber Design
Yarn is leftovers of Sandnes fingering.
#3: Altering and extending the life of a beautiful cardigan: Three tiered, now really three tiers. Original ended with the blue tier. Cuffs were extended, too.
#4: Pink Powell; I was never happy with the collar/opening on this one, and when I saw it on her, I knew it was just too big. As she wore it, it seemed to widen and begin to fall off her shoulders, so I pulled out some rows, decreased the number of stitches and finished off in a stretchy picot bind-off. Never saw it modeled, but I think it will work.
#5 and #6: The Cupcake mittens, and the Eco Vest (made with the well traveled Mongolian Cashmere, total of 5 trans-Atlantic crossings) made their ways home. Whew!
Such lovely lovely photos. She seems such a happy little girl.
