More pictures

Finally I have a couple of pics of the two school dresses I am making now.



This is the new Dudney School of Irish Dance school dress. The design and dress pattern were developed by Susan Gowin of FeisDress. Susan does the embroidery and I do the rest. We finished the first batch for the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Alexandria, VA. Now, on with the rest! (I need to get a picture of the shawl.)




Finally got a picture of the vest I made for my mother a couple of years ago. I used a pattern from Cheryl Oberle's Folk Vests. Mom picked out the yarn...I really do not remember what we used except that it was angora, silk, rayon and metallic, and it felt wonderful. The weight of it makes it drape beautifully. I love the colors.









And here is a pic of my youngest in her pretty poncho. She picked out the yarn...Patons, I think? It has been in the washer several times...gotta love acrylic sometimes! No pattern, just started on my circulars and kept on until it was long enough. There is a hat somewhere.

This is a jacket that I originally started for Molly. She was probably 12 then. Now that she is 14 1/2 it is no longer hip, so Grandma Dolores has claimed it. Almost done...just need to finish the collar border and weave in the wavers.

So for Molly I have started the Rockstar Cardigan from Alchemy. I will post a pic soon.


This is a duster I made for myself (surprised to find this is one of the few things I have ever done for myself) on the knitting machine. Emerald green wool/rayon finished with a black wool crocheted edge. It hangs so nicely. I really like the collar.
