I made This Ladybug Sweater to go with the Ladybug Dress.. if you remember.. I knitted the top of the Dress and put Big Ladybug Buttons on the shoulders... Scroll down for that photo.














I put little loops for the Buttonholes..
The Sweater is one that I designed myself.

My Son Timmy with " The Boys"

Grandchildren having some FUN with their Dad...

Here are the children that I do all my knitting for..... All My Grandchildren......Its very rare that we all are together at the same time because they live so far away. My oldest Grandaughter Allie is on the left and my youngest Grandaughter Claire is on the top right... In between are Thomas.. Will..Natalie.Paige.. Sami and Felix... And of course Me ( Grandma ) in the middle :)

I finished the sweater for Sami that I designed myself....just in time for her Visit!!!
I used a pretty light peachy color Sirdar DK yarn and a L. Harding Ribbon for the Trims...
I chose a pretty lace pattern for the bottom and the cuffs ...

My Beautiful Neices.. Debbie and Christie had a Family Get Together for Sami and Felix...
This is our first meeting of Felix and we have not seen Sami in about a year....
My Sister... and Sister in Law...My Nieces and Nephews and Their Husbands and children...
We had a Wonderful Time..... Thank You So Much!!!!!

Here is My LadyBug Sundress..... :)
I got the idea from the Summerlin Dress and The two Summer Dresses but I change the top to my own variation....The top is done in cotton yarn...
I did a jumper front and back as opposed to just straps in the back... and I did a picot edge all around..
It certainly deserved some LadyBug Buttons so off to the store I went in search of..... :)
It still needs to be ironed so don't mind the wrinkles...
