Mel - Monica is this. I want to make it in shades of pink or pink with green or at this point any nice yarn. I bought some lovely pink but the yarn is not soft like I want.
Anyone want two whiny gurlz?
Batty - I am going to the LYS tomorrow and will see what they suggest. Someone else had suggested mercerized cotton, but was afraid it wouldn't be quite right.
I will try it cause it seemed softer that the cotton twist.

don't I look intelligent?
who we are
- sharon
- Welland, Ontario, Canada
- A house of three girls working through the day to day trials and tribulations. Me - Mom, working full time (for the government so I won't quit) and wishing she had more time to craft, but then the dust bunnies appear. Big gurl, in Grade 1, wanting life to always be fun but trying to learn more and more. Little gurl (2), running around and finding more trouble than Mom ever thought possible. What does a house of girls have in it - pink (more than you ever thought) princesses, barbies, jewellery and pretty dresses. And lots of craft supplies (waiting for a spare moment)

It you use pink on the bottom and green at the top she will look like a strawberry!! Cute Monica.
I really liked the mercerized cotton. The only problem I had with Monica had nothing to do with the yarn and everything with picking the wrong length needles for my trip to Syracuse. I ended up ML it (knit the whole thing in the round to avoid seaming) but ended up with little ladders because my cable wasn't long enough not to stretch the yarn. But other than that... it was lovely working with the stuff!
