First installment of craft fair items...

Here are the first of my creations for the craft fair Jane and I are doing at the beginning of December.

The little sleeveless cardigan was finished using odds and ends that I had in my scraps box of yarn. The end result was an interesting mismatched stripe in various shades of red and orange.

I have completed 4 out of the 5 dresses I started, using 100% wool for the bodices and a cotton fabric for the skirts. The skirt seams were all machine stitched and then hand stitched onto the knitted bodices. I used a pretty cable and moss stitch pattern for the bodices to create texture. Each dress is unique.
