It was very effective at getting the attention of my sons and DH when I needed them. Funny thing.

I'm intrigued by the illusion of "raised crosses on stocking stitch" though... and I couldn't see it myself!)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-51969422750578163362011-12-15T11:26:45.991+10:002011-12-15T11:26:45.991+10:00Boy, that really is production sewing!

Last year I knit cardigans x3,sewed summer tops x3 and dresses x2, and the previous year I made a nightie or pyjamas and a pillowcase for each child.. I was planning to shop for the older nieces this year but my sister rang me up to tell me what colours they would like for their visiting QLD tops, so I succumbed! I still think it is less stressful than shopping.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-31543325925067566352011-12-15T05:45:03.058+10:002011-12-15T05:45:03.058+10:00Those are all so adorable I almost can't stand...Those are all so adorable I almost can't stand it.

I'm planning another or my daughter from Liberty, so I'm happy to read your opinion that the ruffles need only be cut on the bias if you are planning to leave them unhemmed.
