Not sure waht Mum was thinking of but I've not tried that - not to say I haven't fancied it at one point or another but decided perhaps a capelet wasn't quite me! Love the colours in the yarn and those pompoms look so lovely and fluffy! Pity about the cardi - DD has to put up with too large garments and wear them until she grows out of them. I made one for her from a Sirdar book in size 12-18 months and it's still on the big size even now she's now far off 2 and a half!!
