My FIRST CAPE

[bythehook]

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT ONE OF MY ORIGINAL DESIGNS

I found this pattern on the net and decided to give it a try.
It's called Rah Rah Cape (http://groups.msn.com/TheCarrotPatchCarole/rahrahcape.msnw) :cheer :cheer and is a free pattern.

oh, yeah, my cape is really medium sage green, not purple, or grey, gotta get a new camera.

WOW! That turned out great!!!

[kariholtz]

Pretty Pretty! Even if it isn't one of your originals!

[Chatty]

Oh, wow!! :yay

*Swooshes pattern to her to-do file*

[twoqtgirls]

That is so elegant!:clap

[crochetdiva]

I agree...WOW. That is awesome. Great Job!!:manyheart

[Katchkan]

Very nice cape. You did a wonderful job. :yay I myself am working on cape at the moment. I want something warm to snuggle into when I am crocheting but the freedom of my arms to crochet. Thought a cape would work better than either a poncho or a shawl.
Yours turned out loverly. Hope mine looks half as nice. :hook

[crochetfun]

Really pretty,in all the colours:)

I love sage green. Did you make it for yourself?

[Seneca and Scooch]

That's beautiful! :manyheart You did a wonderful job! :clap

WOW! That turned out great!!! Thanks Cheryl. I thought so too.

[bythehook]

Pretty Pretty! Even if it isn't one of your originals! Thanks, Kari. I think there's an original floating around in my head right now but it hasn't decided to show itself yet.

[bythehook]

Oh, wow!! :yay

*Swooshes pattern to her to-do file*

:frog :devil :hook You can never have too many patterns in the to do file.

[bythehook]

That is so elegant!:clap That's it! Elegant is what I was trying to think of. It really is, I just wish I'd made the larger size so I could wear it. As it is, looks like mom will add to her crocheted garment collection.

[bythehook]

I agree...WOW. That is awesome. Great Job!!:manyheart Thanks, Andrea.

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Great Job Dot :manyheart

I love sage green. Did you make it for yourself? lol that darned camera, I never know what color something will turn out. sometimes it's right on and other times it's like these pictures each one different. I really made it just to be making it, but now I wish I'd done the larger size so I could (maybe) wear it. I can button this one and it looks fine around the neck but the rest of it just doesn't cover what I think it should cover. :blush

[bythehook]

That's beautiful! :manyheart You did a wonderful job! :clap


Coralie Thanks, Coralie.

[AngelFairy]

[Ghost]

That looks gorgeous! How much yarn did you end up using?

[LanetteG]

Oooh I like it! That's exactly what I need for the fall. I hate coats!

:clap

[bythehook]

I love it! Its so Mary Poppinesque!!:eek It is, isn't it? :lol

[bythehook]

That looks gorgeous! How much yarn did you end up using? Thanks Ghost. It took almost 2 full 6 oz skeins of red heart super saver and about a quarter of a skein of caron simply soft for the trim.

[bythehook]

Oooh I like it! That's exactly what I need for the fall. I hate coats!

:clap Thanks Lanette. I'm thinking the same thing.

[bythehook]

[Ally]

WOW Dot! You did an amazing job on that! I've looked at that pattern before and couldn't decide if I liked it or not, you just made up my mind. I have to have it!!!!Wonderful work!

[waterbaby]

As usual, lovely work from Dot...no matter who's pattern it is! Thanks for pointing the way to that cape: it has a nice Edwardian feel when done in solids as you did, and I also like the Swashbuckler from that same group---a similar shape but different stitch and with a collar.

[mjcrochets]

Thanks for the neat pattern. Your cape turned out great. Congragulations!

[bythehook]

Thanks everyone. :hook

[Janie]

I'M LOVIN' THIS CAPE....NICE JOB!

[megan]

That's great, Dot. I'd never thought about doing a cape, but having seen this, I'm definitely going to!

[Angelhair]

Its great! Very reminiscient of the 60s. I like your version better than the variegated one. Very stylish :)

[Julie]

Dot that's gorgeous! :clap

[turtlecrochet]

Very nice. I am thinking a cape for this winter would be nice since I will be too big and round with baby on the way to fit in to a coat or jacket. hmmm. Better get crocheting! Thanks for sharing!:cheer:hug
Jessie :turtle :hook

[yarncat]

Nice cape,Dot!

[ReneeH]

Oh, that's lovely! It looks perfect for autumn weather!

[bythehook]

Thank you, Everyone. I really appreciate your compliments.:hug

I enjoyed doing this cape :hook and hope I can come up with a design of my own for one. :badidea

[YaYa Yarnhood]

Looks Great! I have that on my to-do list. I was thinking of making one for my 8 year old for a back to school item for fall. Do you think the pattern could be worked into an 8 year old girl size?

[bythehook]

Thanks, Jody. I'm not very good at downsizing things, but it's all dc and it may not need anything more than doing fewer rounds from the neckline to the beginning of the arm holes, and then however many rows you need to the length that's right for you. Good luck with it. It's really an easy pattern to follow. Looks Great! I have that on my to-do list. I was thinking of making one for my 8 year old for a back to school item for fall.

[YaYa Yarnhood]

Great, thanks for the help!

[Villanelle]

WOW. That is beautiful! I want to make one now! Thought I prolly won't be able to for a few months, need to get all my old wool out of the way.

[blong2001]
