Test knitter wanted
I think I have the pattern finalized for the Diamond Brocade toddler sweater, but before I publish it, I really want to have somebody else test it out. It's written in sizes 18/24 mos. to 4T. If anyone is interested, leave a comment and we can work something out.

Sneak peak at a new pattern
I've been knitting alot lately, so much so that my hands are starting to hurt. I think I better take that as a sign to lay off of it for a while.
I've been working on a new pattern. This drop shoulder sweater features an expanded neckline by shoulder fastening, a diamond brocade design on the body with a little bit of diamond brocade on the sleeve too. Right now I only have the pattern written for 18-24 months, but I'm working on making it multiple sizes. When done, the pattern will be available for sale in the shop.
The other week I was at the craft store, picking up more yarn when I ran across Rebecca Danger's The Big Book of Knitted Monsters. Paging through it, I thought what a perfect way to use up all my left overs or single odd skein. The projects are fairly simple and knit up fast. I was able to knit Baldwin on a 5 hour car trip. I have more left over yarn to use up, so I'll be making more in the near future and donating them to a local children's charity.
