Like Shania Twain says: I've Gol'darn gone and done it...

[Chatty]

I tried and I tried and I tried again not to start on a cocoon sweater but you people kept posting pictures of yours and they look so nice that I broke down and started one today.

 

I had bought 2 skeins of Bernat Softee Baby-one in soft lilac and the other in mint and I'm holding those 2 together and using a K hook.

 

I have the first 22 rows finished so I'm close to where I need to fold it and start working in the round.

 

This is going to look better than I thought it would and it isn't all that open so it should be nice and snuggly. I do know it's soft as a baby's.........well, you know

 

Anyway, I will be getting the rest of the yarn I need to finish this, I just hope Wal Mart has some more, they only had 2 lilac when I was there, I guess I should have bought them both. There is another WM I can check so maybe...

 

Anyway, it's all you guy's fault for posting all those gorgeous pictures!

hehe you have to post a pic! I'd love to see how those yarns work together

[Kymberlina]

Chatty, don't you see! If you make one and post your pictures, your just continuing the vicious cycle ....and then I'm going to have to make one! Gosh darn it!

[Catana]

I'm trying to avoid making one, but I want to see yours anyway. The lilac and mint combo sounds great.

[Chatty]

I've just started working in the round and it keeps looking better.

 

I will post a pic when I'm done.....someone has to keep up the vicious cycle

Ok...I'm just starting mine now..lol

after looking at everyone elses lovely pics

my Que.. how much yarn does this pattern take exactly?

ounces?

grams?

I have 2 1lb balls of Phentex ww....will this be enough?

or will one cover it ?

 

TIA

[Chatty]

I wish I knew. I'm just getting to the end of my 2 5 oz balls myself and am at the point where you're ch 6, sc after 5 dc. I'm holding 2 strands of yarn together for mine.

 

I think I'm going to need at least 3 more balls of each to be sure.

 

[RebeccaVelasquez]

i really really really really really really really really want to make one of these....

but my UFO pledge!!! UGH!!!

[Angelique15]

knitangel, the 2 1 lb balls of phentex should be enough, I used just under the 2 balls, also phentex. Unless you make it very large. I havn't posted a pic of my cocoon yet, (not allowed) I'm not at that level yet. Have to get bussy posting more....

Take care, Angie
