Anyways, I am so happy that I was able to crank it out in time for her to wear this fall....and to capture the gorgeous color of the yarn amongst the gorgeous colors of nature!
Knit it a couple sizes big....you can bet if I am going to knit it, I am going to make it big enough to last awhile!
Tested and approved for running and frolicking purposes.....
Had fun walking through the park and snapping photos. The Middle Child was the "director" of the photo shoot and would swoop in after each shot to rearrange hair and offer suggestions to her sister about hand placement, etc. Suggestions were usually taken graciously. Ah, sisters!
More details on my Ravelry page here, for those who would like to know :)
Linking up at Rachel's Celebrate Color contest :)
The sweater is gorgeous! And she is such a little cutie! I've got 2 girls here, so I know how those sisterly "suggestions" can go. =)
ReplyDeleteYour kiddos are so precious!
ReplyDeleteAnd the "tested for running and frolicking purposes" comment made me miss you already :) Wish we lived closer!
Great sweater...and great photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteJust a beautiful sweater! I'd like one in my size...I must get better at knitting one of these days!
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater. You take great photos. I guess it doesn't hurt to have great subjects!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so cute...the sweater, the girls! And the leaves make me miss fall so much (we only have two seasons here...hot and hotter).
ReplyDeleteLOVE these photos! They capture everything great about fall-- especially the handknit sweater! It looks amazing, and I love the color. Your kids are too cute!
ReplyDeletegorgeous colour but till not tempted ;-)

Looks amazing Kristie - I love the colour!

ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! You should enter it in the Stitched in Color Contest (Celebrate Color - stitchedincolor.com)!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sweater! I love the color and it suits the pattern perfectly. Your daughters are really cute and I love how one was directing the photo shoot.
ReplyDeleteGreat cardi, and great photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous colour you chose!
ReplyDeleteTerrific job! I love the colour. My fave. It looks so awesome against the fall leaves and on the cute model of course!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so warm and snuggly. Makes me want to knit a sweater!
ReplyDeleteAdorable model and a gorgeous sweater. Good call on the size up.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Diary of a Quilter because I loved your blog name. :) This is a beautiful sweater and beautiful girls. I'm also a mom to 3.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sweater and what a perfect color, too!! It's been in my Ravelry queue forever....you've given me a kick in the pants to get one started!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sweater for a cute little girl!
ReplyDeleteThe cardigan is gorgeous. DD (who is the mother of two small boys) and I laughed at the comments about the "director" and the subject! How cute!!
ReplyDeleteLovely...both the sweater and that sweet model! Great job. I want one in my size! ;)
ReplyDeletevery nice :) i did something similar for last months Celebrate Colour the Cassia Tunic
ReplyDeleteGosh, it's beautiful! What a great color. What pretty girls =)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this color! May I please take the opportunity to whine and ask you where mine is? :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty good idea to make sizes that are too big. I'm going to take that bit of wisdom and use it next time I make something for the lovely Rosemary.
