Well, no tatting again.

My niece asked if I would make her a bell sleeved cardigan. 

As a beginning crocheter I was quite nervous, but honored. 

Well, I got it completed.  It took almost 7 skeins of I love the Yarn,

and just under a month(started June 29th and finished July 14th). 
There were some challenges, but I worked my way through them 

and pulled out several sections multiple times and corrected them. 

 I was frustrated with the light colored section and even 

brought the cardigan to Hobby Lobby and showed them 

and let them take pictures to report it, but my niece said 

she was ok with it.  We live about an hour and a half to 

2 hours from each other and so I couldn't try it on her or 

know if it fit till she came yesterday to pick it up and try 

it and she LOVES it.  She said it was perfect!!
I am so happy!!! :)
She also loves the Dr. Pepper scarf and has asked me to 

make her one, and is planning to have me make her 

another sweater at some point.
It's great to have someone enjoy your work!!
I have also been working on a Christmas present in 

crochet which is almost done.

I have several projects "for me" in line already.
I also have 2 tatting projects(one which needs a lot of 

beads-from the new book I got)  in line too.
Lots going on!!!
Hope you are all having a great summer and getting some 

tatting in!! :)
