TAH-DA!!!!!! I've had this done for a week or so now, just finally got some photos of it! This is the new sweater I made. The first 2 photos are me....yes me....before I decided to make it longer, and put pockets on it. It's basically 2 six sided granny squares, and I think I did 25 rows. I see them done on everyone's site for babies, and I never saw one done up for adults, so I did it. Why not, right?
Besides, I've got a large stash of variegated yarns I've been wanting to use up, and this was it. I did a row of every color, doubling only a couple of them. Kind of gives it a mosiac look, ya think? LOL But, I've still got way to many skeins of variegated left, and I want to make another one of these, maybe keeping the next of shorter. Lining it will be even better! And they work up so fast.
And the backside.....Daughter modeling it :)
Little big for her.
You can see the 2 large grannies I started with, and the 4 grannies I added to make it longer.
I love it. I think it'll make a perfect robe! I've considered linging it with some cool fabric too....maybe.....one day :)
