I've always loved the style of Heidi and Finn's patterns and have always checked out their Flickr group for inspiration. Lots of people use their patterns during KCWC for good reason - they're generally pretty simple, and very cool style-wise.
I follow their blog and got a chance to test a new pattern - a very cute ballet-inspired sweater:
The directions were perfectly clear - lots of pictures which is good because I'm not really big on reading directions....until, of course, I screw up....
This was made from a sweater of mine that I never wore. I made it in a size 3T and it literally fits perfectly. Sleeve length, everything. I finished it in probably an hour and a half or so, with the usual constant interruptions from the kid......she wore it all day yesterday which is a huge success. Since I finished it toward the end of the day, I believe there may be some food residue on it for this morning's photos, so please excuse them!
I will definitely make this again, but next time, will either use a knit band for the waist tie, or a strip of chiffon. The ribbon was too slippery, and kept slipping down so she ended up with a ribbon around her toddler belly.....
Thanks to Heidi and Finn for letting me test their pattern - I'm sure it will be a hit!
