    Both just breathtaking. I especially love the sleeves. And the smile. She has such an aura about her.

    Wow, the sweater is amazing, and I love the edgings! It pales, of course, when on the beautiful girl you have there. :0)

    That sweater is fabulous. T1 is beautiful.

    Can I be Thing100 and hang out at your house? It seems like something fun and crazy is always going on!

    What a fabulous daughter you have - she's lovely. The sweater, of course, is breathtaking as well.

    Gorgeous work, on both counts.

    And as for the Manilow-stuck-in-the-head thing... does that make you a Fanilow?

    T1 is pretty, and so is the sweater. I keep comparing the photos of her in the green sweater and the one in the berry-stained shirt! I would like to hear about the pattern too.

    You finished it! It looks gorgeous, and I love the leaf edging on the sleeves! And the daughter seems to be enjoying it too -- preteen or no, she still wears your knitting!

    Lovely yarn/pattern pairing. And recipient/pattern pairing as well. Thing 1 and the sweater look lovely together!

    Thing 1 and her sweater are beautiful. So you may not make a dozen this year, but you just sorta made that up, didn't you?

    Amazing.
