  • Pinafore Dress for Girls by Poochie Baby Introduction
    Pinafore Dress for Girls by Poochie Baby Introduction I love to crochet. This baby girl's pinafore dress is very easy to make. It is so feminine and lovely. The color choices are endless and it can be made with less than one 7oz. skein of yarn! The dress in this pattern is made with one color.... but you can make it in several different colors by simply switching out the yarn and making alternate color rows. It takes a few hours of solid crocheting to finish this dress but it is a perfect project to work on while settling down in front of the TV or while listening to a good audio book (that is my choice). I am the type of person who does not use patterns......... I absolutely hate them! I generally jot down notes when I need to but sometimes I forget what the notes mean a few months later. So, I decided that I should at least write full patterns for my favorite designs. I am also striving to write these patterns in more nontechnical terms, hopefully making them easier to understand. Perhaps someday, another person in my family will decide to pick up a crochet hook and carry on my work! I hope you enjoy the end product! Please note that this pattern may not be copied, resold or redistributed. You may sell the finished products. Happy Hooking! Materials There are some basic materials needed to complete this pattern. You will need the following supplies: G Hook or H Hook Scissors or Clippers 7oz.

The workshop was sponsored by the Alaska State Division of Agriculture and organized by Lee Coray-Ludden, owner of Shepherd’s Moon Keep and a cashmere producer. There is nothing new about fiber production in Alaska. The early Russians capitalized on agricultural opportunities wherever they could and domestic sheep and goats were a mainstay in these early farming efforts. But even before the Russians, fiber was historically used for warmth by Alaska’s indigenous people. They gathered their fiber from wild sources, and some tribes handspun it and wove it into clothing, Angora rabbits produce a soft and silky creating beautiful works of art. fiber finer than cashmere.
