I love all of the bright colors - they are just so cheerful!Meg the Grandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505371880343451606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-33889385178354188542012-09-08T16:47:25.729-04:002012-09-08T16:47:25.729-04:00Love the cardigan!

Although I'm bummed about the prospect of not being able to do full sleeves, only because I generally don't find short-sleeved cardigans very wearable myself (but that might just be me, or the Canadian climate ;) )<br /><br />I had tried to comment on your earlier post about Z's allergies, but my bummy reader froze up and I lost it---I'm so sorry you're having such a rough go of it. Allergies are so frustrating and terrifying. Good luck---and I know she's loving preschool. My daughters just started (grades four and seven) at a new school, and it has not been a fun few weeks leading up to it... makes me wish for the days when school was the most fun and exciting thing in the world...Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-87245673309159488452012-09-05T11:31:25.381-04:002012-09-05T11:31:25.381-04:00Hurrah for public transportation!

He's doing great and everyone is looking out for him. Just know that there will be so many people who will look out for your little one as she starts daycare/school. liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-52639563751985462752012-09-04T18:05:20.728-04:002012-09-04T18:05:20.728-04:00OH, SWOON!

Your socks look so perfect!<br /><br />I'm in the same boat as you with projects - sewing has been a non-starter, but I'm making great progress on some to-be-blogged knit socks and I've got several more knitting projects in queue.

Cap sleeves would not at all detract from the beauty or style of the cardigan. I look forward to seeing the finished project. Lovely socks, also.

I still haven't gotten around to tackling my own pair (sorry, I'm still scared of them haha) but I did just cast on my very first hat - with cables!
