Pattern Review 4/5/12 6:33 PM
Kwik Sew - 2759 Twin Set
I knew exactly what I wanted to make the minute I found this fabric. It's a cotton (?) sweater knit that is almost identical in type to an Ann Taylor cardigan I bought last year.

New Look - 6895 Misses Tops
I like this pattern as it's similar to Simplicity 4076 but it's a woven rather than a knit. I hardly ever make woven tops so thought this one might get me back on that road.
