Poncho and Dress

I did the finishing work on two of my projects last night and today. Here is the other little girl's poncho that I was working on. The pattern doesn't call for the flower. I added it for an extra something. I think it looks really cute.

This pattern is one of my first dress designs. I combined a couple of patterns. I turned out pretty much how I wanted it to. It is a size 18 months. I like the roses, but I'm not sure about their size. I did them in sport yarn like the dress. I think that I would like them a little better if they were more delicate. I'm thinking about taking them off and doing the same thing in crochet thread.

I have all ready got my next project 1/3 of the way done. I am working on a cabled purse. It is the Mallory Bag by Barb Bettegnies that was in Creative Knitting Magazine. It should be done in a couple of days. I need to go get the handles for it. It also has a lining. I am excited to see it finished in person.
