Awesome job! :clap

Did you use the yarn it called for or did you use a subsitute?

Awesome job! :clap

I used Lion Brand Wool Ease. I used an L Crystallite hook - I don't know if I crochet tightly or what, but the gauge worked out perfectly that way.

I'm glad everybody likes it! I'm so happy with it! I'm on to my next from the HH book - the Baroque jacket - I'm only on row 8 and it's taken me ages already, and I definitely already made a mistake somewhere and can't quite figure out how. So I'm setting it down for now... *sigh*...I'll figure it out tomorrow.

[Aelita]

that's really cute on you. I already made the corset belt and I was thinking about making the Baroque sweater too but I think I'll go for the little animal iPod covers next. Maybe I'll do the baroque sweater later.

[crochetmama]

Outstanding! You look lovely in your beautiful sweater. I love that book too. Her writing style and instructions are very helpful and user friendly.

Great job! :cheer :clap

[Hummywinger]

I have been making swatches left and right trying to get that gauge, and I too had to use Wool Ease and an L Crystallite hook. Now I know that I am not the only one that does not crochet that loose! I have found that almost every pattern that I like in that book, (and from other patterns) my gauge is way smaller than the designers. I wasn't sure about the yarn, but after seeing yours I'm gonna go for it!:cheer

Very nice! Now this is definitely on my list of projects to make from this book. But it's already so hot here, this project will need to wait for fall!

[grrlsmom]

Cool!

[fuzzy ferret]

You should be proud! That looks fantastic!! :clap I just bought that book myself last night and cant wait for it to get here!!! After seeing your sweater, I may just have to make one myself!

I already have two friends begging me for one of their own! That will be fun! But first, must finish my Baroque Jacket!!

It is so warm and cozy (and cute), I hope you all enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine! My students (high school seniors who are VERY particular about their fashion) love it too! Yay!

[knitcrochet]

Awesome!

[gannka]

[Mrs. Principal]

Great job! I love how you added a tie and not a button. It's on my to do list, hope mine turns out as nice as yours!

[NoLooseEnds]

Wow, I know this is redundant...but that is beautiful...from SNBHH??? I need a copy of that book!! Did it take you long? What can I say, I'm in love!
