Crochet Instead

I needed a break from the sweater I'm knitting, so I looked on Ravelry and found this pattern. It is called Angel Wing Newborn Pinafore.

It looked cute, easy and the real change I needed from the 3 x 2 ribbed sleeves.

Anyway, I tried the sweater with some cotton I had around the house, but the colours weren't right for a newborn (just too strong). So during March Break I went to Romni and found some Rowan Purelife in the basement. I bought 3 balls but only needed 2. Guess there is another trip to Romni in my future.

So the facts:

Pattern: Angel Wing Newborn Pinafore by Maxine Gonser
Yarn: 2 balls of Rowan Purelife Organic Cotton DK in Cholorophyll
Hook: H / 5.00mm
Started: March 13th, 2012

Finished: March 27th, 2o12

I actually finished crocheting the pinafore about a day or two after starting, but it took me until yesterday to weave in all my ends and sew on the buttons.

I've already gifted the pinafore to my secretary who has a new granddaughter. One day I hope to have a photo of the little one wearing it.

I just love the buttons. I picked them up at Mary's Yarns. I love any excuse to go up there and enjoy an hour or so with all that lovely yarn.
