Hello Everyone!
Happy Valentine's Day!
This year I have the pleasure of having a
very special Valentine.
It's our first Valentine's Day with our Granddaughter.
I decided that I wanted to knit her a sweater and I had
been eyeing this yarn for quite a while.
I finally found the pattern book I wanted and
bought the yarn and made the sweater.
This was my first cardigan and although it isn't
perfect, I do love how it turned out.
If I were to make another one for her, I wouldn't put as many
buttons on it, I think the 8 they suggested was a little bit too much
and I'm not crazy for how they sit, but I think for a first
cardigan, I did a pretty good job.
I wanted to have different colored buttons, but couldn't
find all the colors I wanted, so I went with the yellow buttons
and sewed them on with yarn that matched the stripe they
were on.
Here is the card I made to go with the sweater.

The sentiment is from a set I got on clearance
without a package, so I have no idea who made it.
I also heat embossed the edges of a piece of card
stock with the same powder to use as a mat for the
image.
