Project Details and Feedback

Duration of Project: February 1st to April 1st, 2011
Made for:  Mommy

Modifications: My cable substitutions, different sized pieces (size 44" for the back and size 48" for the fronts and sleeves). I used the 3 needle bind-off for collar to make the seam neat.

Make this pattern again? Well, this was a second time making this pattern and it was another fun experience.  I do however think I'm done with this pattern but only because two is enough! haha!

Final thoughts/ recommendations: I am so very proud of this creation.  Not until I put it on did I feel that I really did a fantastic job with it.  The look on mom's face when she got it was quite wonderful.  I hope she finds good use out of it!

 What I learned/practiced in this pattern:  Using the appropriate method for all of the seaming I did. I also practiced substituting cables.

Love, 

LeeAnn
