This one turned out awesome. I couldn’t find a store with all the colors of Spud & Chloe Sweater that the little girl wanted, so I had to switch out for the Blue Sky organic dyed cotton and the Blue Sky cotton. Which was ok, because it still turned out cute. I just had to make a small adjustment. The yoke was a little tedious, but after you get past that part, it goes pretty quickly. The end is gratifying. I think it is pretty darn cute. I just wish that my friend’s kids weren’t such a larger size. It would have went quicker. I wouldn’t say that you could do this in a weekend. It is my general rule that when people say such things, you should take that amount, and multiply that by 2.5, even if you dedicate yourself to the project. I would give it a week.

Finished Fridays:Catarina's Chloe
This is the Chloe, a pattern by Alana Dakos. I am always partial to her patterns, as I think that they are clever, well-written, pretty, and she is my little bud. I just wish that Catarina hadn't chosen orange. But you gotta use the colors picked by the kid. That being said, here goes. By the way, I know it is not Friday. But we moved and could not get our internet up until now. Thanks for your patience.
