Beautiful cardi! Thank you for sharing!

Lovely sweater. I'm glad someone else likes buttons as much as I do. Smile.

OMG, girl---I love it!! Green Mountain Spinnery....puuurrrr. And that color looks great on you! A classic!! I'm going to have to put that on pattern on my "do" list, which is about 3,722 items long by now.

It's so GREAT to see you---tooth or no tooth. ;)

xoxoxoxoxo

*stands up giving raucous round of applause* Oh Oh! Over Here! Miss Green Mountain Spinnery Sweater...may I have your autograph? Will you sign my knitting bag?

Great sweater, great colour! Muggles! That is exactly why I comment on any and all handknits I see, I just may find another kindred spirit in an unexpected place.

It's beautiful! That the muggles didn't notice it was handmade is actually a complement - if they notice, that means you probably messed something up! ;o)

Hooray! It's done! I bet you were awfully glad to have a new sweater over the weekend. Especially a GREEN one! :-)

Now just keep Fig away from it... ;-)

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Isn't it a booger to find just the right buttons for a cardi? I think from now on I will buy buttons first THEN knit a cardi to match-it's got to be easier! Good Job!

Love the images of the sweater against the snow. And no need to worry about the fit, it looks great to us!

Hilarious and so true! I gifted a pair of (green) socks last night at a restaurant bar and the bartender asked the person if she had just taken off her socks and put them on the bar. With a wrinkled up nose too! Why can't people remember to oooh and aaah at the right moments? hahaha

Your crown is SOOO not slipping in my book!! The sweater is AWESOME!! I have dubbed the sweater I started MONTHS ago my "forever sweater"...because apparently it is going to take me forever to finish it!! Your's looks FABULOUS oh great knitting queen!!!!!!!!

Sandy, your sweater came out nicely. Love the yarn. I've been looking at some of this and some Blackwater Abbey, too. Maybe a bohus for next winter. Who says I can't knit a winter sweater in the summer?

Gorgeous sweater! I would have notice your crown had you walked into my school wearing it. :) Great job!

Great sweater! Great yarn too. You'll love it a long time.

What do you mean, it doesn't look like it fits well??? It looks fabulous.

You should have heaps of wear out that gorgeous sweater!I hope you have some cold weather left to enjoy it!!!!Speaking of which I must get cracking on my projects so at least I can wear them this winter!!!

I love the color! It looks so nice and cozy. I'm surrounded by snow too, so sweaters look 100% cozier today, even just pictures of them on the web.

Great sweater. I love the buttons. Clapping round and round here:)

[applause][gasps of wonder] [applause] That is a fabulous looking sweater - I, too, love that colour and it looks like it will get lots of wear. :-) I was thinking of you "Saturday Sky" and looked out my window to a monotone grey overcast day. But still, "Happy Saturday"!

YEAH! It looks like it fits well, and that is a great color for you. Nicely done.

I love that sweater! The color is my favorite shade of green, and from what I can see, those are some beautiful buttons. I think it looks great on you!

Looks awesome!!!

OK, you are getting a standing "O" here!! That is gorgeous and you will enjoy wearing it for years to come. I love the bouquet and the crown with the sash btw!:)
Speaking of flowers, how is that amarilys (sp?) doing?? pics anyone??

Giving you a standing ovation in Iowa!!! It looks fantastic!!
Wear your crown and sash proudly....

nicely done! it is a pretty color on you. your coworkers are the ultimate in muggles. i know people who aren't knitters but they are creative and they notice handiwork when they see it even if they choose to express themselves differently.

Ooh, looks lovely, Sandy! I hope you'll bring it to Knit Night, so I can see it up close. I guess it's time to start knitting sweaters that require buttons - I've been focused on pullovers.

That's why you come to us! We scream, we cheer, we clap. It looks really good, including the snowstorm picture. (Quite topical.)

Great ad for GMS yarn.

Beautiful job on the sweater! It looks great on you!

It's just lovely, Sandy. :) Brava!

Fabulous sweater, and it looks great on you!

Lovely! Looks good - and must be worn again and again. I do want a close up of the buttons, too.

That looks like the kind of sweater you'll grab and wear over and over and over.

Can't wait for a better shot of the buttons. I love buttons.

Fabulous, I love it, looks like a sweater you will wear and wear and wear.

It looks wonderful, Sandy!! Just perfect. ; )

Lovely sweater, and it looks terrific on you! I must check out that pattern. Mountain Mohair is the best yarn - I have a 12 year old MM cardi that still looks fabulous. Even tho' I never found the right buttons, so it doesn't have any.

It looks just lovely!!! So sorry that people at work didn't notice - perhaps they need to see it again!!!

I'm so happy to see your smiling (toothless) face that nothing else matters;-)

I love it! It looks terrific on you! Hmmm. . . I wonder what it's like to finish a sweater?!?

The sweater--and the sash, tiara, flowers, and wave--all look fantastic. Your analogy is spot on, too--it's exactly how I feel, too. And then you're left with the struggle--do I say something? Or will that sound like bragging??

Thank heaven you have your people to understand exactly how you feel. Wear your crown proudly!

I love that sweater and it looks perfect on you! I hate that muggles don't notice a new handknit sweater.

I *love* that sweater! It looks like it was made for you! LOL! If I ever finish my cardi, I have no doubt the muggles in my office will be made aware of the presence of a handknit by the only other knitter around, and that's fine with me! I'll curtsey and smile.

Sandy, It is beautiful!

I'm bracing for that snow to hit us... Any minute now.. I hear 2 feet! :/

I'm cheering and applauding, because it's fab ! A beautiful cardigan, fabulous colour, great fit. It IS perfect. I bet you wear it loads, for many years to come.
Fab !

I think it's gorgeous! We have similar taste in colors. Moss green is one of my favorites.

Cue Bert Parks...

Oh hi! This is Norma's Abigail. I like the buttons and your sweater looks beautifully store-bought. And also I wanted to tell you that I like the missing tooth, too. It should be your new trademark.

LOVE IT!!! And I just left a comment on a blog how buttons are like jewelry. The perfect accesory and they just FINISH a piece! CONGRATULATIONS MY BEAUTY QUEEN!

I think it looks great - I think Cookie is right about the raised camera arm messing with you.

I hate wearing a new sweater to places with only Muggles. Talk about depressing when no one notices. My husband tried to console by reminding me that if they don't ask, then it's a sign that it is great, because it doesn't look homemade (as opposed to handmade, which IS a good thing). It only works sometimes.

It's beautiful. The sleeves are the right length, the neckline lies smoothly, it doesn't gape between the buttons or wrinkle strangely - it fits perfectly. I love the color.

::throwing bouquets of red and pink roses::

Sandy! Sandy! It's so beeyooooooteeful!

It really IS. It fits GREAT, and I bet it feels like a dream. We're almost glad for the return of the snowy weather, so you can wear the sweater. Can't wait to see the closeup of the kickass buttons!

It's great - and I love the color on you, honey bun!

Very well done and it looks great on you! I'd like to make the same one , but the pullover version instead. Green Mountain Mohair, eh? Off to check colors on their site.

Sandy! :D

I think the raised camera arm is what's doing you the disservice regarding fit. I love it! Well done!
