Here is a picture of a dress and pinafore I finished this week for a toddler that I know. I also finished crocheting a sweater for my granddaughter this week, there is also a picture of that. Now I need to do some mending, everybody seems to be falling apart, and start an afghan for a friend I plan to visit in July.

Carol, that sweater looks so soft and cuddly! I can't imagine making something so completely adorable out of a piece of yarn!

Love that little dress and pinafore. That little girl is going to feel incredibly special to get that beauty.

I don't do much mending, my kids outgrow their clothing before they can wear it out.

Love the pinafore and dress. They look so cute. The sweater is adorable. I can barely knit and crochet and envy those with that talent.
Happy Stitching!
