Sewing and Knitting...

This is the result of my experimenting with wool sweaters... I decided to make longies with the sleeves and try to create a vest out of the neck-center of the sweater. These are two sets that I made from the Good will sweaters. They came out O.K. I am not happy with the finishing of the sleeve edge on the vests... They came out a little awkward and to be honest I have no idea how to fix them... but the sets are warm and they are accomplishing their mission of keeping baby warm this winter. I love them!

The Summer collection of Drops has been published! The patterns are all simply gorgeous!! I can't wait for the patterns to become available...

You can see them here.

I am still working on my leaf vest. This is an old SIRDAR pattern that I am modifying a little bit to make it look more modern. The gauge just didn't make sense to me so I am not so sure how will it come out but I am almost done with the experiment...


Arriba fotos de los dos juegos que le hice a bebe con los sweaters de lana que compre en Good Will. Con las mangas hice pantalones que tambien sirven de cubierta de panal y con el centro del sweater hice un chalequito para hacer el juego. No me gusto como me quedaron las orillas de las mangas de los chalecos, como que se paran muy raro, pero la verdad no supe como arreglarlo. Lo importante es que cumplen su cometido de mantener a bebe calientito y ademas me encantan!

La foto de abajo es de un chaleco que estoy tejiendo y ya casi lo termino.
