Pattern: Ski Lodge Scoop from Twelve Months of Knitting
Yarn: Cascade Jewel, 3 skeins, shades of dark pink, maroon, and light pink
Modifications: Only made the ribbing 9" (as opposed to 10"), used #8 needles, and did the ribbing in the round and then separated at that part and worked back and forth. Also, did not make the back as long, only about 20". So, I guess I just made this a little shorter than the pattern. But it came out fine. It looks much better on me than on this hanger attached to the bush! (No one was home to take the picture and I really wanted to show you all!)
Pattern: Canopy Cardigan, from Knitscene, Fall '08
Yarn: Cascade 220 in like an orange/rusty heather.Modifications: I made the sleeves longer. I don't care for the 3/4 sleeves (my wrists get cold). This fits me a little tight across the back, next time I'd probably add just a tiny bit of give there for me! I did get to wear this yesterday! It was cool enough here for a sweater over a tank! Yeah!! Got to wear a hat this morning walking the munchkins to school, too!
Now I'm finishing a shalom cardigan and have to make another amanda hat for my friend. Why? You ask? Well, she shrunk the first one! And I do mean shrunk!!! It may fit a baby now! Thank goodness it doesn't take too long to whip one up!! (the above link shows the original hat and what yarn was used! so beware it shrinks!!!) She wants the same color, thank goodness I bought two balls of it!!

Love these. Very pretty.
i like your canopy better than the one in the magazine. very nice knitting.
we are project cousins right now--i am making the puffy vest on the same page as Canopy from that knitscene!
wow nice job and beautiful projects done~ You must knit really fast!
Wow, that's a bright pink--it looks great.
Love the Canopy Cardigan. I clicked over to Ravelry to add it to my queue, but it's already there!
WOW - 2 big projects at once! I love the pink yarn you used for your vest and the Canopy Cardi is beautiful with the pretty leaf edging!
Isn't it fun trying to take pictures of yourself :-) I've gotten to be friends with the self timer!
You've been busy! Both look good, but I really like the vest. The ribbing makes me think the vest will be figure flattering.
Goodness, someone has been busy!
Wonderful work!
