I'm in love with this top! I
Submitted by greenmn on Fri, 2010-03-05 08:30.I'm in love with this top! I want to make it for my daughter, but she's allergic to acrylic; is there an alternative yarn that would work just as well?
so many yarns!
Submitted by erin on Fri, 2010-03-05 10:47.There are so many great yarns out there, and almost any worsted-weight yarn will work well for this dress. Cottons will have the structure and shape that the dress probably wants; silks would be too drapey, and wools too warm.
Patterns I Am looking At
Submitted by SDLee63 on Wed, 2009-09-09 19:51.Hello I am new to this site, and am wondering about the patterns i am looking at. Is there any way to buy these patterns or back order the magazines.

Submitted by TLee43 on Wed, 2009-08-12 14:03.For those of you who have done the pattern and have been successful, could someone explain the instructions on page 76 second paragraph for Rows 3-7 (9,7,9) and then ch 3 (12,3,12). I do not understand what they mean. Thanks a bunch if you can help!
Great!

Submitted by yarngeek11 on Sun, 2009-07-05 13:42.I just wanted to say thank you for such an adorable pattern! It's hard to find things to make my 8 year old that are both not too cutesy and not too grown up. This fits the bill nicely. Thanks again!
Flower Yoke Top
Submitted by wilcher418 on Mon, 2009-06-29 14:28.I began working on this right away. However using Bernat yarn Baby Coordinates I had to go down in hook size to a D as a starting hook in order to get the gauge right. The pattern calls for a light weight yarn "3" which mine is but still had to decrease needle size. Is anyone else experiencing this? This is such a cute pattern. I can't wait until it is finished.

Submitted by irishrose on Mon, 2009-06-29 08:55.Is it possible to get the pattern in the left-handed version. I'm getting very confused with the joining of the flowers.

Submitted by TLee43 on Wed, 2009-08-12 14:07.I was confused also and I am right-handed. I placed the flower on the pattern in book counted leaves and make sure you follow the directions for the connections of 1 or 2 petal connections you'll get it.
