Smaller Size Sweaters for the Shelter

Here are several sweaters in the smaller sizes for the Women's Shelter. Right now I am working on some larger sizes. Even tho summer is just around the corner, we don't always have warm weather here. Sometimes it rains all summer long!! So sweaters are still useful esp. in the evenings & nights. If the yarn I am using is thin enough I like to embroider designs on them because the kids love that so much. & the brighter the colors the more they like them. I get lots of cute embroidery designs from Artistic Thread Works & it's just $19.95 for 90 days subscription. You can download as many designs as you choose. Take a look!!

I have Wendy Phillips book of designs for children & am going to make some fairisle sweaters using her books. They are out of print now but you can still find them at the auction sites etc.

Appliques'


Today I worked on my web site. I bought some new appliques' for my tees that I sell there. I sell my tees in sizes 6 months - 4T.
I had some cross stitch machine embroidery that I did on tees for my g'son. I wasn't satisfied with the way they looked so went to Holly for some much needed advice. She was able to sort out the problem. Isn't the internet wonderful?? When you have a problem there is always someone to help solve it. They have lots of cute embroidery designs & I love to go there & just browse.
