Another Sweater

After knitting a sweater for my three year old, my five year old wanted a sweater too, of course (imagine mom has nothing to do for a moment!), so I started knitting again, with this as a result:




I think this tunic like sweater looks a lot better than the other sweater, but fortunately three years old don’t criticize that much (yet). I got this pattern from Sandra Kids Magazine.

    This is adorable! It's so joyful and I love the pattern. I have yet to try several different colors in a knitting project, but this makes me want to.

I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though.

Favorite pattern revisited, again

Image
I brought out my all time favorite pattern again to make a summer dress for my youngest daughter. This time I chose a turqoise fabric with butterflies and birds on it and red for the circle skirt underneath. Red and turqoise is my favorite color combo's. I used this pattern many times before, as you can see here (click on the links underneath the pictures to go to the original post): The Twirl Factor Pink Strawberry Dress Sweet Heart Dress Flower Dress Birthday Dress Zebra Skirt All very different designs, but all with the same basic pattern... www.betweennapsontheporch.net
