Angel Wings Pinafore shop sample.[/caption]
The Angel Wings Pinafore is a sweet little dress for the new little girl in your life. The pattern comes in newborn and 3 month sizes, and is an intermediate pattern. It's a great pattern for both the experienced crocheter and the confident beginner who is ready to expand their skills. Baby things are great for first garments, because they're small and much quicker than making a full sized adult sweater. If you don't know anyone having a little girl right now, you can always make it and save it as a gift for someone in the future.

Store sample of Bishi[/caption]
We'll also be working on Bishi. It's a quick knit, and would be a great first project for knitting in the round. It's useful for anyone who likes to carry a water bottle, but without the bulk of carrying a bag or purse. The Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton is a great choice for the water bottle holder, too, because of cotton's low elasticity.
These are just the first two in our summer of knit and crochet alongs. We hope you'll join us in some fun projects. They're small and won't make you too hot during the summer months.

Sue finished her first pair of socks in the Begin to Knit Socks class. She's only been knitting since this last fall, so this is a big accomplishment. Great job, Sue![/caption]
