I loved knitting this lovely design for my 4 yr granddaughter. I did it in burgundy with wt flowers for a holiday sweater. I had a little problem at the neckline. My st count may have been off, but when I followed the instructions - one shoulder was narrower than the other, and the diamond panel was not centered. I just corrected by separating the same number of sts on both needles, and holding the rest. It all worked out, and I have posted a picture on Ravelry. Am now working on the Classic Raglan Pullover for my grandson who is 6 yrs. I love the simplicity of your designs. You write beautifully, and I love reading your blog! Thank you!!! Dorothy

I have just discovered your blog! It's great! Your products are fabulous. I have a little granddaughter, who is almost five, and I can't tell you how excited I am to find all of these great patterns for little girls! One thing I do have a problem finding is socks for little girls. You know, cute ones. Do you have any patterns for little ones' socks? Your little girl is so beautiful!

Beautiful sweater/design and daughter! Such a sweet photo!
When my little granddaughter gets a bit older, I'll be coming after you for the pattern( she is only a teeny 9 months right now!). You do fantastic work.

Ok, I know you homeschool, I homeschool. How on EARTH do you have time to knit this many sweaters in a winter...on top of moving? It took me a year to get settled after moving! I'm happy to get about a sweater or two a year done. Otherwise I would have every sweater pattern you've just put up in my shopping cart right now.
This one will have to go in anyway. Sweater a year or not. It's top notch worth putting something else on the back burner for this one!
