Happy Thursday everyone!
I am so proud of her as she just learned to crochet less than 1 year ago and she did this from start to finish all by herself!
I just love every detail down to the clasp buttons she chose!
It could not have turned out more perfect if she tried!
Melanie promised to make me one too after she completes a new batch of sweater bears that she is making for a holiday craft fair we are going to be in on November 20th in Winter Park, CO!
I am so excited!
Are there any holiday craft shows in your part of the world that you are excited to go to?
Please leave us a comment and tell us all about them!
We cannot wait to hear!

That cardigan is gorgeous!
I love the smaller contrasting squares at the bottom, they work really well.
Congrats to Melanie.
If there are any craft events in our area I never get to hear about them - sigh.

That is truly beautiful! It makes me want to learn to crochet! Granny squares are so cool :)
I have a couple of craft shows coming up in the far west suburbs of Chicago:

Adorable! I've crocheted for a long time, but never attempted the things you gals do!
OMG, we know exactly what our mom is thinking! Melanie did a gorgeous job on that sweater! We love it!
Love ya lots,

We live near Wichita, KS, the largest city in Kansas with
250,000+ population. They used to have good craft shows...but since the airplane business has been rocky...they just aren't the same. Our hometown used to have good one's, too. We miss those craft shows...but now its a waste of money to go to them and see nothing. Oh...the good ol' days when airplane business was booming.

WOW! This is FABULOUS! I love items made from Granny Squares. We have a Granny Square Christmas Tree Skirt that Tony's grandma made and it is priceless! Super Job Melanie!

I am looking for shows in our area. I'd like to get in one more before the holidays and then REST! :)
Oh my gosh.. Melanie did such a beautiful job. We love the color, we love the style, we love the buttons, we love everything about it,, and it looks so gorgeous on her. What a sense of accomplishment she must be feeling and she should be very proud of what she has done..
