I finished girlchild's sweater. I really like it for the most part. I used Knitpicks "swish" which was lovely to knit with. I had ordered 7 skeins, and unless the kids hid a skein or 3 I used about 6.5 of those skeins. I have steamed the life out of this project because, for some reason, the edges roll more than a bear in a circus. I ripped the bottom out 3 times and then gave up because I was afraid that the yarn would become exhausted from all of the ripping. I don't know that I'll ever knit this particular pattern again, but I know that there are elements of it that I will use again. All I need to do is slap a few button loops on it and a few buttons and she'll be ready for her first day at kindergarten.

It's VERY cute on her! - a very nice pink. She looks very happy with it!
She looks so cute and happy in her pretty new sweater! You did a great job on it and you can't tell that it's rolling a lot. It looks good.
Happy belated Birthday to your son, and the shrug turned out great too!
I'm sorry, I'm trying to catch up.....
You know, you make me want one of these for ME!!! So very cute and very beautiful work.
BTW, I'm packing my bags right now to come live with you for the summer!
