Go Tar Heels!!!

Sandy made the cutest sweater for my daughter Ava. William is a HUGE Tar Heel fan and was so excited to see his little girl in it. He fowarded her picture to every Tar Heel fan he knew. What Sandy doesn't know is that William is going to ask her to make Ava a new sweater every time she outgrows it. Sandy will be making this sweater until after Ava graduates from UNC. I just hope William will not ask me to make him a sweater.

Sandy used the purple foot graph from Melissa Matthay’s Grape Stompin’ pattern and tailored the foot to look like a Tar Heel. The foot is on the front and back of the sweater. The pattern was sold in a box set titled, Knitting Patterns by Melissa: Volume One-BABIES TO TODDLERS However, her patterns are now sold seperately.

Romeo has found his Juliet, and it is Stacey

Stacey came by the shop during our anniversary party (for those who were not there, you missed a GREAT party). She was wearing the cutest sweater, called Juliet by Zephyr Style. It looked fantastic on her. It is knit from the top down. Also, because it is knit in either double strand worsted or bulky weight yarn, it knits up quite fast. I love its empire waist.

Great job Stacey!!!
