What was your inspiration?

A beautiful Grand daughter :-)

I want to inspire others as much as I have been inspired to create the many projects I have created.

See also the Shell beanie hat I have here http://www.craftsy.com/project/view/Crochet_Baby_hat/8522

What are you most proud of?

All of it. I progressed quite some time ago from Granny squares. I have enjoyed the sweater tutorial on here as I picked up several tips and tricks.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

You can do it! It may take a bit of unravelling (frogging) at times but keep persevering! I did it. :-).

It's actually a very easy way of making a sweater. Basically it's half dc, a cross dc and sc. Slip stitch on the ties.

Hello Sarah, This looks lovely well done. I looked up the pattern & will attempt to do the different stitches that you have done on yours. The cross stitch is a nice pattern which I have done on some baby hats & would go well with this...if I can manage it...lol. thank you for your inspiration.

This is just adorable. Well done! I love making baby things too, but I knit. I so appreciate a job well done, and that's beautiful.

I have posted several times below. As I said earlier, My cardigan was designed by me and I have given links to what I did. I'm not prepared to give row by row details though.

I can not find your pattern for the baby wrap. I also only find Susanne Visch. Your's seems so much better I would like to get your pattern. Please let us know how to find it? I do not understand why the person before my post was flagged as inappropriate as she is just asking the same question I am asking?

Firstly, I haven't flagged anyone as inappropriate? My pattern is the same as Susan's but as I said in the comment below, I did the crochet cross stitch below the armholes. This can be found on the youtube link posted below. I don't have another pattern. I just made my own up with Susan's as a guide. Can't help you any more than that.

Sorry, when I do the search on crochet me I only get the pattern by Susanne Visch. Since yours has more stitch detail, I would appreciate knowing how I can access your pattern. Thanks.

Mine is made up by me. The stitch immediately below the armhole is still half dc and then I do a bit of this stitch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL2UoCDYOvw

This little sweater is wonderful - I love the texture you achieved with the different stitches and the little flower is the perfect finishing touch! I'm sure your Grand daughter looks adorable in it!
