• It looks so comfy, and I love the texture. How do you feel about the sleeves? (I’d probably drag them through peanut butter, knowing me).

• That is swell! Though I don’t wish uncomfortable cold on anybody, I hope you have enough cool weather days so you can show off your new sweater! It’s a great color for you.

• Looks amazing! I hear you on the cold archives… always winter in there :)
  
  Take care, and you look great in it!

• thanks for all the nice words about my sweater ;) i’m so happy about it ~ and i can’t believe it turned out so great. i’m such a worry-wort.
  
  heidi ~ i’m loving this deep blue color, in some lights it looks almost velvety!
  
  lolly ~ i’m wearing it today to work and so far not a goosebump in sight.
  
  liz ~ inevitably i’ll drag them through some food thing also, but i love big sleeves, especially when they’re slightly long. ;)
  
  lynette ~ woah, that j.jill stuff is expensive. ha, that comparison makes me very happy since this sweater only cost $18 in material. yay!

• Thank you for the birthday wishes! And I can’t stop staring at your bare feet!!! Argh. Southern Cali here I come!

• beautiful! you managed to make a comfy sweater that is not schlumpfy looking, if that makes sense. good work!

• YU-MMY! WOW! Top Secret looks GREAT!!!! Yeah!

• Hm…I’m not really sure why some of my text was crossed out there, but I didn’t mean for it to.

• Sorry—commenting snafus over here. I thought I had submitted something and I guess I hadn’t. I was going to say I never liked that pattern very much based on the photo it was presented with, but I think your version looks great and really suits you.

  ~ susan 03/01/05 9:39 AM #

 
• OMG! gush how cute is that?? I’m with Jess – a comfy sweater that doesn’t look gigantic and sloppy and just blah. Great job!
