{Crafting On}









Oh my, where to start? I was so excited when Ginny announced that she was releasing the pattern for her lovely Sunday Sweater. I offered to test knit if she needed any more hands...so when Ginny emailed me and asked for help proof reading the pattern, I was beyond thrilled! She promoted me to "test knitter" and I loved having an excuse to knit during every spare moment this past week. I love Love LOVE this pattern. She has really created something special here...Jenny and I are both absolutely thrilled with the results! It's delightfully feminine, but comfy enough for play, and perfectly styled for fitting over her dresses. I'm bummed that she's already in the biggest size! Be sure to look at Grace's peek of her test knit!

  1. It really is a beautiful sweater and the pattern is a lot of fun to knit, not too hard, but just interesting enough not to get bored.
    I am knitting mine is a cotton/wool blend since I live in the deep south and so far it looks really nice.
    Your wee one looks just adorable.

  9. What a great pattern! And, the color you chose is perfect! I am fascinated by knits for little girls. As a mother of two little boys (and aunt to 5 boys) I rarely have opportunities to knit girly stuff : (

  10. Ooh, I love it! I'm forever in a really basic stage of knitting. I just can't seem to get beyond dishcloths and simple ribbed scarves. Maybe this season will be the one? :)

  29. Mackenzie,
    The sweater turned out lovely! Your daughter Jenny looks beautiful in it and the pictures are adorable. :)
    I love the huckleberry wood buttons on it. I think that's the only set Jeff has made in huckleberry.
    I just pinned a few pictures to our Wooly Moss Roots Buttons pin board. :)

    Love, Taryn
