Allie’s Ready for Apple Picking


 Allie’s Apple Sweater has been completed for months.  I used DK yarn with Parchment as the Main Color and Meadow Green for the Contrast Color.  I knit with #4 needles and followed my Sweater Wizard pattern.  I was very happy with the way it turned out, but the more I looked at it the more I didn’t like the position of the apple.  This week I decided it had to be moved and redid the duplicate stitch.  I like it much better.
How does she look in her beret?  Too stylish to go apple picking?  Let’s pretend she’s visiting from France.  I found the free pattern on Ravelry.
She has boots to coordinate with her hat and sweater.  They were so easy to knit.  I found a pattern for baby booties that used worsted yarn and with my DK yarn and smaller #4 needle I could follow it exactly.  Since I spent most of last winter learning to knit socks, the knitting was a breeze.  So happy to have something for her feet that doesn’t cost $$$.

Here’s another photo.  I borrowed my neighbor’s tree.
