Daughter's plane leaves at noon today, and at 2:34 am, the last thread was tucked in and snipped. I had to wait until now to get pictures. But, I made it! Wonderful Wallaby - W03, Cottage Creations Child's size 4 I Love This Yarn! Grape, 1.41 skeins, ~504 yards ~3 days worth of knitting...give or take a few moments here and there.
I'm thinking of making one for me, and the youngest daughter is interested...we'll see what the rest have to say. This little one is for a new 2 year old, that is already wearing a size 3...and she's an only child. So, I guess you could say I did that whole family...ahaha...sorta, if you don't count her parents. You certainly spiked an interest.
Thank you, thank you my fellow AC4C member! Now, please remember that I have a good 40+ years of practice in...and I also have a habit of using yarns that generally make me look good-meaning they will even out stitches for you. Have you tried blocking or changing needle size? Both of those tricks make you look good by 'fixing' a lot of stuff!
Kathy, What brand of yarn did you fine the grape color in. This would be lovely for my very blond gdaughter. Could you please email me? nwornamentalgardens@verizon.com Thanks Norma
This is just beautiful. What a luckly little girl. I love that bright purple, Hobby Lobby yarn is great to knit with. I fell in love with the Wallaby a few years ago, I have 3 of them myself and have knitted several as gifts.
It's so addictive and so beautiful. Will you make them for the whole family?

Your work is absolutely beautiful. Wish I could knit that well--I keep trying, but I see crooked stitches and the like in my work.
