I don't like my sweaters too tight either. Finally someone knitted it in a solid color. I have been wanting to see it this way. Great job!KnitPastishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15559491322677694832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142626314224258822006-03-17T10:11:00.000-10:002006-03-17T10:11:00.000-10:00Thanks for the comment! So, I just learned that if you order directly from Cucumber Patch instead of from their ebay store, it's much cheaper. I got Mermaid from the ebay store for $120, but it's $99.10 at their regular store....Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142464093645024442006-03-15T13:08:00.000-10:002006-03-15T13:08:00.000-10:00That looks like it fits you perfectly! (Could you shrink it, just a bit, if you need to?)<BR/><BR/>My best friend, who's originally from New England, claims it is never cold enough to even wear socks in Hawaii. You have no idea how many times I've offered to make her a pair. Maybe Hawaii feels extremely warm year round to someone who grew up with winter.<BR/><BR/>What a lovely knitting bag!Sayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01786568555425380404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142458549288341462006-03-15T11:35:00.000-10:002006-03-15T11:35:00.000-10:00Your Ribby is very nice! I am sure that it will be enjoyed for years to come! AND...IT DOES get cold in Hawai'i!!! No one believes me either when I tell them that. I would wear thermal pajamas at night...since we didn't have HEAT in our little house. BRRR. :)<BR/>I sleep knit as well, and much to my hubby's dismay...fall asleep with the needles in hand. OUCH.<BR/>Have a wonderful day!<BR/>Thank you for all of your wonderful and cheerful comments...they always make me smile.Raganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03079894107117527826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142444248780763772006-03-15T07:37:00.000-10:002006-03-15T07:37:00.000-10:00Ribby Cardi! Yay! It looks fantastic. Bossy's reaction to the Noah's Ark story is too funny. Isn't it strange what kids decide to obsess about? Sydney's current obsession is monsters... And I love your Hello Kitty doll. My mom used to stock my Easter basket with Hello Kitty stuff every year, so she has a very special place in my heart! Have a great week, Chris!!! Also, I can't remember if I e-mailed you to tell you there's a little card in the mail for you (finally!), so be on the lookout.knittinmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03083582930684730242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142392597641773632006-03-14T17:16:00.000-10:002006-03-14T17:16:00.000-10:00love the cardi - it looks fab!!!!<BR/>I'm looking for a rib knit card to do myself<BR/>yours is very inspiring! =)Kukahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04933391926572023254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142387752148443952006-03-14T15:55:00.000-10:002006-03-14T15:55:00.000-10:00I am late to the party! I don't know where the time went on this post (I did not see it on my Bloglines until now! although I have not checked in three days...) Of course, darling Chris, I have to agree with EVERYONE here! Your cardi turned out *so* well. The perfect marriage of functionality and beauty ;) I love the ribbing - you can never go wrong with that, just like the great neutral color - it matches everything. I am glad to hear that you grew to love the ribbing! I quite enjoy ribbing too - must be all of those sock cuffs.<BR/>I hope you can get some wear out of it - perhaps it would be been better suited for the weather you are having now if it was made out of plastic (a la raincoat!) I hope you all can dry off soon. It was awful to hear about the dam break in Kauai...<BR/><BR/>My very best wishes to you and the family, sweet Chris! *hugs*<BR/>Love,<BR/>LLollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12791093975699654253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142370221612394282006-03-14T11:03:00.000-10:002006-03-14T11:03:00.000-10:00Your cardi is wonderful, great job. I especially think the modelling is pretty special! I always used to worry about the world flooding again when I was little, but my dad would always point out the rainbow anytime I worried. Thank goodness it was always there otherwise I might've plotzed.Talithahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07235364493989890287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142365326173031872006-03-14T09:42:00.000-10:002006-03-14T09:42:00.000-10:00your cardi looks so comfy and cushy, great job.

And you look so cute wearing it! Hear you on the food splatter matter -- walked out of the house today with what I <I>think</I> is peanut butter on the sleeve of my jacket -- who knows how <I>that</I> got there!... and I see I'm not the only one who knits in bed!

You did a fantastic job on it - I love the color and the style - perfect with everything. We are having rain here (not nearly as much as you!), makes everything all muddy and gloomy.

Sometimes I'm really surprised that I'm dressed when we walk out the door. There's always so much to do with the monsters that I forget I have to look presentable.<BR/> Oh well, I love your ribbed cardigan. You look great in it! I have the pattern and now I really want to knit it. I just have to figure out what color.kimberlyhttp://www.thegivingflower.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142131388154868902006-03-11T16:43:00.000-10:002006-03-11T16:43:00.000-10:00Wow - great work on that sweater!

I've had the "wish I'd knit a different size" thing happen to me, too. I with there was a try on before you knit option. Even with measuring myself, comparing sizes of things I like and reading the pattern carefully, I never really know how it's going to fit! <BR/><BR/>Sorry about all the rain! My friends just took a vacation to Hawaii. They thought they were going to get away from the Oregon rain and ended up in the Hawaii storm. They still had fun in your state, though!Caseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01599918584791900008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1142105814898617412006-03-11T09:36:00.000-10:002006-03-11T09:36:00.000-10:00I love your new Cardi!
