| 40 yrs to make this ok. as many of you know I am not a knitter, .been trying to learn this for over 40 yrs! well........... take a look at what I did. I was making it for Ahia who is 10lbs. as it ended it fits Tressie (5 lbs). LOL. and it is even short on her. LOL. it is ok to laugh becauce I am laughing too. I will be trying it again and this time will make one to fit Ahia. I can make anything crochet. dont even need a pattern, just look and make. but when it comes to knit that is a whole different story.

| Well, I think it's beautiful. But what would I know? I couldn't knit a bit! It is a beautiful color on her, too. I can sew, but I never did learn knitting. It may be a bit short, but it looks great on her!

| It is very pretty. I love the yarn you chose. It looks like it has a tiny sheen to it. Keep on knitting so that we can buy them from you!!!

| Personally, I think you did a great job! It didn't make me want to laugh at all. I love the collar and the way the bottom is a different look. A little longer works for girls, but boys kind of need them a little shorter like that. I give you |

| Nice! Looks like you know exactly what you're doing. Love the color, too. I can only knit in squares - can't read directions. And when my grandma taught me, because I was watching her by sitting in front of her, I do it backwards. As far as crocheting - I can crochet the longest single chain you could ever want, but that's about it. I did improvise and make a string bikini in college but everyone kept untieing the strings so I gave up crocheting. Can't read those directions, either. BUT I CAN SEW!

| Short or not, you did a beautiful job!! Keep at it, you'll get it! And I know it will look great, and not be short when your finished. Maybe you can knit some pants to match, if your worried about it being too short. I can sew most anything, but I flunked knitting and crochet. |
