Over the weekend...

Over the weekend I finished up Twist which I have had on hold for a number of months now. All I had left was one sleeve cap, button bands, collar and seaming. So in one afternoon and a viewing of Charlie and the Chocolate factory I had her done. Here she is on Phyllis. Just named her as it came to me as I was typing. Phyllis was my grandmother and she passed away a number of years ago. She was one crazy lady and that was the best thing about her. I remember one summer I got to fly out and spend it with her. It was awesome.... Any way onto the Twist...

I love this sweater and will definitley make it again. Maybe in a blue.... Heathered blue would be nice...

I am still working on the baby vests and have cast on for Forecast in the Highland that I bought a few months ago for a poncho. I found a cheap (9$) wool skirt at Wally World and this will go perfectly with it. I have been working on it pretty much all weekend and divided for the sleeves last night. The wool is kind of scratchy but I hope it will soften up with a bath. Pictures of that later.

The rest of the pictures tonight are what's to be off in mail this week.

And last but not least the sweater for my niece. Now to find hte button that I bought a two-pack of, gave one to a girlfriend for the same sweater and now I can't find it in the drwaer that I put it in...

Guess we'll be making a trip to the fabric store to pick up another and then find it later.

I am a beginner knitter and I really love the easy patterns, especially the dish cloths, my grandson would love the hate so I will try my best.

HI!! I'm apparently super late on this- but I LOVE that purple scarf that you made for your Grandmother. If you don't mind sharing, I would love to have the pattern.
