I saw them! It turned out so cute using the stitch that I used on mine. It made it alittle more interesting and cute, hey?

Since I'm doing just stockinette for the back, it's taking me forever!

yup! I see it now too!

very nice!

Precious!! Oh, and the tank is cute too!

Great job, I really like how it turned out. What length of circular needle did you use? I tried to cast mine on to do it in the round last night, but I think my needle was too long, because I could barely stretch the stitches around to join, so I gave up and cast on the front on straight needles.

The next one that I make will be in the round. I thought of it, but wasn't sure how that would work with the eyelet in the front.

Isn't she? And it, too!

Thanks to all for the kind comments on both kid and tank!

It was 24 inches from tip to tip. I had to use two of them, one for the tank and one for the ruffle.

I always knit a few rows before I join. Not only is it easier to make sure it's not twisted, but it stretches out the sts and they often fit on the needle better.
I CO the second Monica yesterday and am using Feather and Fan for this one. It's larger and for my older grand daughter. Pics of it on my blog, too.
