What was your inspiration?

I loved Mary Jane's pattern and wanted to use it for my grandson. My inspiration was the great teaching by Mary Jane.

What are you most proud of?

This was a difficult project for me. Not only was it my first try at stranding and steeking, I had to try my hand at choosing colors (harder than I thought) and altering a pattern to fit a 6 year old child. I guess I'm just pleased that I didn't give up when I ran into problems and had to rip and re-knit!
