STICKS-Lion's Brand 3/4 Girl's Cardigan

A cardigan for a Princess

I saw this on Lionsbrand.com and just had to knit it. The only problem was I had to find a little girl to knit if for. Low and behold I found one. My co-worker as a little princess this would be perfect for. So it was time to set the needles in motion.

I used 2 skeins of Red Heart Shimmer, it was on sale at Micheal's and you know we love sales, right? I love the way it shimmers and it was her mother's favorite color. Here are the stats below:



It's knitted on circular needles size US 8  which makes it perfect for my commute on the train. When I say easy to knit, it is easy to knit!  Once I stitched it up and blocked it, it was just perfect. Did I say it was for a princess? The princess is going to love it.

If you are looking for a easy, cute, and just fun to knit project for a special princess or princesses in your life this is would be perfect. Here the link to help get you started. Don't worry if you don't have an account you can sign up for free!

Many thanks!!

I wanted to start my first post with a thank you to all the great artisans who create beautiful handcrafted items. I really want to thank Sharon of Sharon Sews found here and Ashely located here. Not only have you inspired me get my sewing machine on the ball but return to one of my favorite passions. Sewing. Sewing for myself and for Barbie! Yes, she needs a wardrobe too! I will eventually expand that line but right now let me get in to the grove of creating.

As for the "sticks" side of this I have to give a big shout out to Ann of Yarnology's blog   She sponsored a contest featuriing this great yarn by Simonetta yarn and I won. This is a luxurious yarn and it was such a treat to win one. I haven't started the free scarf yet Ann but I will I am in the middle of a little girls cardigan which I will post soon as well as a scarf I knitted to share with everyone.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
