My Short and Sweet from Happy Hooker

[christinacoghill]

here are 2 photo's of my short and sweet jacket. I made it for my mother-n-law and almost ran out of yarn so its not as long as I wold have liked it to be. This is me modeling it, so if I knew how to use photo shoppe I would have photo shopped me right out of the photos' .lol. My Mother n law is smaller then me so it should be big and loose on her. She likes to wear sweater bigger and looser. I made the size large. I plan on making myself one and will probably make the size large even for myself, but make it longer.

I want to make one. Was it hard? was the pattern correct in the book?

[auntbubbels]

Very nice - she will love it :cheer

[christinacoghill]

Actually the pattern was very easy to follow. I used the graph or schematic or whatever its called, instead of reading the written instructions. I think the sizing is off. I normally wear an 18/20 top and this was a large and it fit me

:clap :clap great job, I really like that green, is that a forest green?

[Roli]

OOh, I like it too! The green is great. It looks a bit like khaki.

How pretty! It really looks very nice. What kind of yarn did you use and what is the color. I have made one in white SS. I have seen a lot of different ones and I think I will try to make it into a cardigan.

I used a chenille yarn that was called Docker. I think the yarn was for weaving actually since I traded some of my handspun yarn for yarn and she used it to weave.

wonderful job, i like that color...maybe i should have used the schematic and making my "short and sweet" wouldn't have been such a pain. ;)
