… that I’ve promised to Kristin ;)  She fell in love with Plymouth Oh my!
yarn I’ve choose for Polar Bear Baby coat, but sure my almost 9 years  
old found it too infanty (and she’s perfectly right) Well, below is a sneak
peak of her jacket.  I’m SO thrilled that Kristin loves and I’ve got approval 
on this design ;o)

My favorite part of this jacket it’s a Striped pattern, which is alternation
of Oh My! yarn and plain cotton  applied for sleeves and front of jacket.
Rows of plain  cotton are emphasizing  a Beauty and texture of Oh my!
Amazingly!! Modeled pictures and pattern coming soon…

Next  on  my  schedule is  working on some fall  and winter accessories
and something for holidays. And sure patterns, including and Free ones.
Stay tuned. Oh and you have some requests or would like me to design
something special for you, please feel free to post it here or email me at
mylcg@mylittlecitygirl.com 

A FABULOUS and FUN weekend to everyone!! 

You know I’m pretty partial to natural fibers. But there are times when
you really want a synthetic for its non-allergenic, easy-care properties. 
I took one look, one feel of Oh My! by Plymouth and understood how it
came by its name.

Fiber Content: 100% Nylon  
Yardage: 70 yds/ 50 g (1.75 oz)
Gauge: 3 3/4 sts =1” 6MM (US #10) 
Weight: Bulky
 

This is INCREDIBLY soft and supple yarn! Make everything for baby with
this, from  washcloths to jackets.  The  only thing…  please keep in mind
that due to small yardage per ball this yarn is enough pricey for projects
like blankets …but I bet  every little wonder will ADORE it ;o) This yarn is
machine washed and gently dried.

great places to buy: here, here, here and make sure to check
eBay stores

…As a mom, I always loved clothes that can “grow” with your Baby. This
one can be her first coat and late a jacket - made from unbelievable soft
Plymouth “Oh my!” yarn, this coat quickly become her favorite. A version
of Baby Boy Polar Bear jacket coming soon ;o)

For sizes. I  wrote this  pattern for baby  and child sizes: 12M (18M, 2Y,
3/4Y, 5/6Y) according  Standard Charts for crochet and knitting. But  if
you think that may be interesting in smaller or bigger sizes, please feel
free to leave a comment here – it’s not too late to add 1 or 2 sizes if so.
