Aww, such a sweetie.<BR/><BR/>I'm back! In case you hadn't figured that out. :D<BR/><BR/>Love the blanket, too.

So cute, and great that she wears something you knit for her! :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860175097394228040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548720.post-42959347001650136902009-01-05T16:22:00.000-08:002009-01-05T16:22:00.000-08:00So much -- too much to keep up with.

Like I need something else.<BR/><BR/>The sweater and blanket are lovely; I'm sure your reading is perfectly acceptable, and good for you for setting goals. I'm just barely able to put one foot in front of the next these days. At least that's something, right?Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548720.post-76864591563998467312009-01-02T13:27:00.000-08:002009-01-02T13:27:00.000-08:00Okay, making my way through the 245 posts waiting ...Okay, making my way through the 245 posts waiting for me in my Google Reader. Hmm....I really like the look of the Gathered pullover and I would lengthen the body and sleeves too if it were me. The Henley is pretty too. And I love Lilah's sweater and the toddler blanket. It turned out great! Holy jeez! 214 books! Puts my measly 50 to shame, but I know there was quite a bit of lighter books and rereading in there. :-) Looking forward to your Review post through. Back to our regularly scheduled email chats soon I hope! :-) OH! And I got a gift card to Knitpicks from Pat for Christmas! I can't wait to buy something. Though, what to pick...what to pick....Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944204657462978748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548720.post-35305446782134792092008-12-31T17:48:00.000-08:002008-12-31T17:48:00.000-08:00So wonderful to see how Lilah is growing and looki...So wonderful to see how Lilah is growing and looking pretty in her sweater.

Lean Mean Green is great. Looks Springy outside on your sunny white bench. Thinking about berries also feels Springy!<BR/><BR/>The Silky Wool is gorgeous - just did a little Google to have a gander at it.<BR/><BR/>I think the Henley Perfected would turn out nicely (really it's only half-fiddly, right?). Did you check Ravelry pics for the other shortlister? There are 700 projects for the Gathered Pullover - lots of different body shapes there. I still think it might come down to the skill of the knitter, based on what I saw on Rav. The ones that looked not-so-hot I think might be operator error...<BR/><BR/>I'm crushing hard on cowls right now, so if it were me, I'd have a hard time resisting the long-sleeved version of Somewhat Cowl. Hmmmm. Happy choosing! And Happy 2009.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548720.post-79464971899688579682008-12-30T07:38:00.000-08:002008-12-30T07:38:00.000-08:00Oh my goodness!

What a cute, cute little girl she is!<BR/>Nice of Santa to bring you the Silky Wool!

For the most part, I like the sweater, but I think it would fan out like a bell on me, and that is not a look I crave. My vote would be the Henley Perfected. Lilah is so adorable, and your sweater looks so nice on her. I love how your blanket turned out! I wasn't sure where you were going with that when you were starting it, but the final result is very impressive!<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you're getting better sleep! (Probably just jinxed the whole thing by putting that sentence "in print.")<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year!YarnThrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261414607842071918noreply@blogger.com
