Margaux & Contest
Click on Pictures to See DetailPattern: Margaux by French Girl
Yarn: Rowan Ribbon Twist #119 Rascal (white), Rowan Ribbon Twist #122 Regency (burgundy) - 6 balls each
Notes: The pattern calls for a size #15 needle, but I used a #13 in the hopes of making the xs size even smaller. It is still a bit big on the girls, but they love it anyway. Can you tell?
Now, for the contest. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day I learned how to knit. Little did I know what a life changing day that would be. Knitting has given me immeasurable pleasure, and a career to boot! I am going to have two drawings. The first will be a kit to make the Waterfall Scarf, and the other will be a kit to make a One Skein Wonder. Just leave a comment with your email address. Contest ends Sunday 4:00pm. Good luck!

The girls are adorable in their capes. The sizing is great because they will be able to wear them for longer than a year.
I just discovered Yarntopia -- and the blog. You have rekindled my love for knitting. Great outfits!
May you have many more wonderful years of knitting!

YOu are the fastest knitter. Two days ago not even one cape was done. Wow!! They turned out so cute. I wish I had learned to knit when my kiddos were a lot younger. Your daughters are the perfect models!!!!I may have to get the pattern.

Did somebody say a contest?? Sign me up! My email addy is on my profile.
Great idea! Congrats on the knitting anniversary!
How lucky can one girl be? I've gotten to see them in PERSON--both the girls AND the capes. I have to tell you...at their age, I could have played in that cape for days, for play-pretend and just-plain-prettiness. You'll be hard-pressed to get the capes away from them now! I'll pray for a cold snap for you.

Your girls look SO CUTE! They are super lucky to have a mom that not only knits but owns a yarn shop!
I can't believe you remember the exact day that you started knitting. Happy Knitiversary! Or should it be Happy Knit-Day! Whatever you want to call it, you are always a great source of inspiration. Sign me up for the contest, I think you have my address or can atleast find me on the yahoo group :)
All I have to do is leave a comment? you make it too easy, I almost feel guilty entering!

I can't believe how fast your girls are growing up -- they look so much older now than when I first started reading your blog. Still super cuties, though! I love the margaux.
By the way, speaking of life-changing events, the day I joined your Honeymoon Cami knitalong was a day that changed my life. It's what introduced me to the world of knitbloggers.
I must stop merely lurking; contest or no!
The girls look adorable (as always)! Did they pick the colors themselves? Not only does the color suit each girls' coloring, but they seem perfect for each personality! (Is the pattern available yet? Beautiful knitting, yet again!)
and Happy Anniversary!
I learned to knit during Spring Break when my daughter was in 2nd grade - only 2 1/2 years ago. She just started 5th this fall.
