Beginnings....

I have 2 projects in the works...the above will be a baby frock from the magazine Crochet Today. I'm embarrassed to admit I had to rip out my first row TWICE!! It was 11pm, so that's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it! Its going much better today. The second project is a knitted hooded pullover from the Lion Brand website. I don't know if that link will take you straight to the free pattern since you have to register to use the Lion Brand site. I will be omitting the front pocket on the pullover and I'm also going to make it longer. If anyone has a link to a pattern for a hooded pullover for toddlers that is like a tunic or a dress, please let me know in the comments. I don't like how bulky the yarn is that the pattern calls for so I was thinking I'll try substituting yarns, checking my gauge and hoping it works. Things don't always work out well for me when I don't stick to knit or crochet patterns, so I'm nervous!
