Here is a picture of my crocheted baby sweater (sans buttons) and knit cap to go with it. I opted for a knit cap because it will be a bit warmer on my newborn granddaughter's head, plus I can't find a crocheted baby cap that I like. This sweater was crocheted using Mary Rhodes pattern which came with her DVD and was invaluable to me in making my first crocheted sweater. She goes very slowly through the process and shows you exactly what you need to do as you progress along. Since I'm a visual learner, I can't imagine completing this sweater without it. Mary, if you're reading this, congrats on a job well done, you talented woman you! 
So, with this knowledge in mind, it pays to stock up on some of your favorites for future projects so that when the time comes, the yarn may be discontinued, but YOU"LL have some in your stash!I need to decide which buttons I'm going to put on the sweater and finish that up and then give it to my daughter for my sweet little one. So, until next time, dear readers, be well, be happy, and crochet on!

That sweater looks so beautiful. What a great idea to have a video to show you all the ins and outs. I did a few crochet items a few years ago and I just winged it. The hat will match perfectly as the yarn is distinctive. I love your afgan, so bright and pretty.
It's a beautiful sweater and cap set and I love the afghan.
I just came across your blog, and your two references to Mary Rhodes! I'm so glad you like her pattern and video.
Currently she is masquerading as "Practical Crocheter" over at the blog Stitch Whisper. And she has her patterns available for sale. I would be happy to email you a catalogue, if you'd like.
Your blog looks great, and your needlework is fabulous!
