Childs Kimono Top

2009-11-06T11:52:00.001-08:00

I am making this kimono top for a friend's daughter. I've already finished the left front and am re-knitting the back because I goofed, no big deal because its in stockinette stitch. I still have to make the right front and the two sleeves. The fun part is going to be blocking and seaming it together because I have never done that before. It kinda scares me! The yarn is Plymouth Jeannee Aran/Worsted in Coral. I had purchased it over the summer to make something for myself but never got around to it. Its a cotton/acrylic blend, making it easier to work with than just cotton and its very soft. Here are some in progress photos:

In progress

I will post more pics when its done. Thanks for stopping by!

Last time I didn't refashion much, this time around I'm really going to try harder, but now school is in session and it seems that it's my entire life. Winter break is coming up, so I can use that time to do some refashioning. We'll see how its goes :)
