Venus Goddess of Love Drawing

 
 
 
 
This is a sketch of Venus the Goddess of Love my 11-year-old daughter did. I like the heart-print halter top. What do you think?

Charity Sweater

 
This is the start of a charity sweater I'm making using this pattern. I'm aiming at making it a size 16/18 for older kids or plus-sized kids who might need sweaters and also at making its appearance less boxy than the one in the pattern photograph. It does have a nice texture that I'm loving. Has anyone out there knitted or crocheted sweaters for the worldvision knit for kids program? If so, I'd love to hear about your experiences...especially about any adjustments you made to the pattern. They want all the sweaters to look about the same but I hate the thought of a kid looking ridiculous in an unflattering garment. Any thoughts?
