i had to share b/c i feel darn accomplished right now!

this is the 1st ever set i tried making along with a matching snowman
I wanted my baby girl to have something special.

the longies were a PITB b/c the yarn kept pooling so i was told of the 2 ball method where you make 2 balls of yarn from the same skein and then alernate between then while you knit every other row. it took longer to knit them and was a pitb but well worth it!!
