Well, that pullover was a bust. There are some mistakes in the
pattern, I followed it to the letter, but the sleeves couldn't
line up at the right places on the main body, so I had to undo a
lot (and I mean a lot) of stitches and readjust everything. Then
there is WAY to much narrowing for the neck, I couldn't fit it
over my head. :(
I think I'll stick with hats and mittens.

I'm so glad you're here!!! ;D
That is so pretty - are those beads the tiny little ones that
always make a break for freedom? If they are, I can imagine the
tinyness of that piece.

They're not the really teeny-tiny ones, they're about... um...
*gets bead and looks* ...they're size 6o glass beads, so about
an eighth of an inch across? They do indeed leap for freedom on
a regular basis. ::)

Mel! Glad you IZ here! :D
That work made my eyes bug out. So intricate.
I crocheted once. A warped--looking mini scarf for my
daughter's rabbit.
Put the needles away Maxx...No clothing responsibiliities for
you...we dont want another 7th grade gathered skirt debacle
again.
So much help from schoolmates, still got D- for final product,
but A+ for effort

Awwwww thanks for the compliments on the minishawl! I love it, I
keep pulling it out to look at it.
I already have a new thing to show you! I just made the Good
Ethnic Boy a teacozy, custom-fitted to his teapot and in his
team colours. ;D
