                                              **scroll down for updated pics**                                                    (originally posted 5/2017)      Are you looking for quick, easy and fun to wear dress/swimsuit cover up for this summer?                       Look no further.... Simplicity 1100  might be the pattern for you! This pattern is a re-issue from one published in 1971, and shows that good design can stand                    the test of time. What's not to love? Wrap and tie.....ready to go! My son and daughter-in-law will spending some time at a ocean side resort in Greece this summer,                  and I thought she might like a little something to take along. For some reason,                                    this fabric just shouted resort wear to me :-) The fabric is a drapey rayon from JoAnn Fabrics, perfect for this pattern, and rolls up to next to nothing          for packing.  I know, it looks a little long.

Thank you, Berroco!

Last week I received this email from  Amy Christoffers : Congratulations Patty!                                                     You won the Berroco Portfolio Giveaway!! Woo-Hoo!!  I rarely enter drawings on the Internet, but I love Berroco yarn and patterns, and so I  thought I'd throw my hat into the ring for this giveaway. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I hadn't planned on knitting a sweater for myself this winter, but now that has changed.....can't wait to cast on for my own Owinja .                                   Thanks you so much Amy Christoffers and Berroco yarn company :-) Happy Knitting,
