I am having so much fun creating my first "Go-Over" sweater for the September Knit-A-Square Charity Challenge.Here it is so far. I have created the 4 front 10 x 10 squares and one sleeve.
My idea was to create the 4 square panel on the front to be a child in the sun with his/her dog. :)
I also redesigned the original sleeve design to be crocheted in the round instead of the 2 rectangles to be sewn together so that I would avoid having seams on the sides. I think it worked out pretty well. I wrote it all down, so hopefully my second sleeve will match my first.

I just need to crochet one 20 x 20 inch square for the back and one more sleeve and sew it all together. I am really pleased with how it is turning out.
It is so fun to see it come together! I will keep working and show you how it turns out!
Happy September 1st everyone!

This could not be any cuter! I love it! Great job, Melissa. I might have to figure out how to crochet a cat onto a square (in my spare time - LOL)!
So sweet Melissa! I love to see what you're working on each day!!
Melissa, this is sooooo cute!! What a great design for a sweater. You are an inspiration everyday,
Happy Tuesday,

If we wore sweaters we would wear yours! You are sooo talented. Mum can't hold a candle to you, course she's a lefty so crocheting is beyond her. (some days she is just so pathetic).
Hi Emmit! We missed you while we were on vacation!
Love, Dozer, Dottie and Cooper
Isn't this amazing. Is there anything you cannot do? Can you balance my checkbook too? ; )
love and hugs from Texas..
Hi Melissa & Emmitt! This sweater is simply adorable. I love the colors and the design with the little girl and the dog is perfect.
This sweater is going to put a big smile on someone's face and keep them snuggly warm. You are so sweet to make these for those in need.
