SIMPLY ROYAL
I just thought that I would
write in and say what a lovely
free pullout Simply Royal Baby
Knits was in issue 183 of Simply
Knitting! Here are my versions
of the Sweet Petite and Lovely
in Lace projects which were
featured. For the Sweet Petitie
peplum cardigan I decided to use
a lovely shade of a glittery lilac
yarn and a white shimmey yarn. I
felt that the shades were sparkling
and just perfect for two young
girls! This will be for two sisters
who are one and three years old. I
then knitted Lovely in Lace in King
Cole Baby Spot for a baby expected this
May. I also plan to knit a couple more of
the gorgeous patterns from this booklet
in the future, too!
