    Wow, this cardi turned out pretty, I already thought yesterday but today with these pics,nice :)
    I was also amazed to see it pop up as an ravelry project from you :) The twist pattern is one I have on my queue too, but I decided to go with the cassidy pattern and it is nearly finished.
    I am glad for you that you had such a nice weekend and only a bit with envy :)
    Have nice week!

    Kathy

    It looks great! I have to get pictures of mine up too!

    Paula

    That is a great sweater. Well done! I love the perfect matching necklace too.

    Manise

    Your CP(nonH) is beautiful! I like your un-hooded version.

    As of this morning the are 199,153 users on Ravelry. I'm sure they'll pass the 200,000 mark by the end of the day or tomorrow based on the 800 or so invitations handed out per day.

    Oh No you di'n't! I think you know what I mean. ;)

    Love the sweater, isn't it great to finish something? Um, I mean isn't it great that when you finish something it is just exactly what you were going for? I love that feeling. The sweater looks awesome.

    Ruth

    It looks beautiful on you, m'dear. Seeing your WIP shots inspired me to dig out the Kamchatka Seamoss I've had marinating in the stash for God only knows how long ... I just started the second sleeve of "October Frost" from A Fine Fleece. LOVING the Peace Fleece.

    sandy

    You Ripped it!
    I do so love that sweater on you! It is all around great! WHY don't we knit sweaters more often? Or is the question really, why don't we KNIT more often.
    Whatev.

    greta

    oh, and now she is YOUR Sandy?
    harummmph.
    Love the sweater, and congrats on the Ravelry inclusion.
    I'm all about INCLUSION, as you well know.

    It is a fabulous sweater. It doesn't look "homemade", but tailor knit for you. Lovely lovely work and terrific on you. I'm suffering from sweater-envy.

    gayle

    I LOVE your sweater - what a perfect color for you, too!
    Twist looks like a lot of fun to knit. Quick, quick, cast on while the needles are still warmed up.

    Are the rumors of ice-skating in Hades true?

    Carole

    The sweater is wonderful on you -- great color and fabulous job with the knitting. You are so right about how warm the Peace Fleece is, though!

    Anne

    Your sweater is beautiful! I am just about finished with Twist and it is a fun knit...just enough variation in the cables to keep me thinking, but not too hard.

    Mary K. in Rockport

    A perfect fit and lovely piece of knitting. You look very happy in your new sweater.

    Marcia

    As a matter of fact I did notice that you had put this up on Ravelry.....what I didn't notice was how perfect the Park City Pendant is with it! Now I'm doubly bummed that I didn't run into you over the weekend! I really wanted to see that, too! (On the CPH, did you do the original pattern or the later version? I hear it ran a bit small, should I decide to do one for myself.)

    margene

    You looked marvelous in the NEW SWEATER! The color is perfect for you and went beautifully with the necklace as you predicted. It was fabulous to spend 3 minutes with you. At least we had July.

    marianne

    You already know how I feel about this sweater and the yarn... but good wool, woman (!!) the pendant (!!) is PERFECT. Absolutely.
    ("Are the rumors of ice-skating in Hades true?" I nearly wet my pants reading that)

    carol

    Twist would be perfect in that green! I too am envious of Carole's version. Very tempted to start one.

    Jean

    You looked FABulous, Dahling! That color is perfect on you. We missed you at the Eveready! I only got to see you for like three minutes! :-( But it was a good three minutes. :-)

    Imbrium

    Oh, and it matches your necklace PERFECTLY!

    You look lovely and happy, and the sweater is glorious. Congratulations!

    Cheryl S.

    And it's such a lovely match for your dinosaur bone! I saw a huge piece of dinosaur bone at the museum a couple of weeks ago - about 6" x 8", and thought of you.

    Beebs

    Gorgeous! I have some lovely worsted marinating....... And I need a lovely cardi......
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Seanna Lea

    Very nice. The photos might be dark, but they are still gorgeous.

    I try to document my projects in Ravelry, but often they are posted well after they are finished. This mostly results in there being way more projects In Progress than there actually are!

    Lucia

    That sweater is just perfect on you. The color, the fit, the style -- magnifique! And I too noticed how superbly it sets off the necklace, and vice versa. It gives me something to aspire to.

    Cookie

    It is beautiful on you, you skinny bitch.*

    I cannot believe you have become one of those people. /sigh

    *Said with love. Kay, please don't kill me.

    AmyP

    I thought you'd forgotten all about us Ravelry over-achievers! Off to "Favorite" it, and wish that word was spelled with a "u"!

    tayloe

    Your rockin' that haircut-love it - and the sweater is very very nice.

    Anne

    That cardi is the perfect color for you! LOVE the design as well. It's on my list for later this fall for myself....only now I can't decide about the hood... or not...

    lisa

    And look at that... your first Ravelry project is such a nice red... my brain is a bit muddled, but things like popping a cherry (a ravelry cherry? a sweater cherry??) are swimming around in there. When I get over my human virus and get my computer over its pc virus, I'll post a picture of you with a brownie in your mouth. It was good to meet you, even for a few minutes... I feel like those quick meet and greats at least put a face to people that we are back and forth with in the blogs.

    ann

    OOOHHH, burnnnn. You are awful. And correct. I will be taking some yucky acrylic to make a hooded back zip baby cardigan for my granddaughter to be. I am using the same freaking color to make my twist! Just in Rowan Aranspun-Kismet my ass! You KILL me!

    --Deb

    That sweater looked fabulous in person, too. I really need to try Peace Fleece one of these days! And I'm still waiting for the day when Ravelry is open without registration so my poor mother can read some of the boards. It practically kills her to miss out on the MV Fiber Farm updates just because she's not a knitter!

    Cathy-Cate

    Nice modeling, nice photography, great sweater! Where is the Norma who doesn't knit much any more?
    Sweateritis seems to be contagious!

    Have you seen Veronique Avery's cardigan called St. Denis? It is in her new book but the pattern if a freebie featured in Classic Elite's newsletter and their yarn.

    Your cardigan in Peace Fleece is gorgeous. Also, Twist is lovely, too.

    Zardra

    Sheplova mushroom is a fantastic color. I knit a friend of mine the Wool Peddler's Shawl (Ravelry link) from Folk Shawls out of it.

    Jean

    Your sweater is beautiful and the color is great on you. I must try the yarn someday. I put this swaeter on my list. Jean

    Kristen

    Actually, I'm not on Ravelry. I have purposely banned myself from even thinking about it until after the dissertation is signed, sealed and delivered.

    Kristen

    Oh, and the sweater is as stunning as its model! Sorry--committee meeting today. Brain is fried. Totally fried.

    Sue

    The sweater is gorgeous! Congrats on finishing it and loosing your virginity.

    Stephanie

    Still looks stunning and great and I don't blame you for not taking it off much. I wouldn't either! The Twist pattern looks cool too -- could be your next great cardigan, huh? ;) We'll all look forward to it!

    annie

    Beautiful sweater.....and REALLY great posing in that first picture. Tee hee!

    Alarming Female

    I watched you and Sandy during this photo shoot from the Eveready parking lot as Michaele and I were leaving. And I must say, that first pose reminds me of something. . .
