Happy Valentine’s Day

a sock in the shape of a heart awwwww

The embossed leaf sock would like to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day.

One Bloomin’ Sock down, one to go! No pressure, they don’t have to be finished until March.

Olympic Knitting? I got that:

After one false start – Do you know anyone who can wear a mobius hat? Me neither. Shake it off, Emily, shake it off. – the Olympic Knitting is going well. I am trying to pace myself and avoid an early injury. My left hand isn’t used to having to do anything but hold the appropriate needle. It seems happy to be more involved in the process, but a little stiff. Why the orange color scheme? My pea coat is orange, if you’ll recall, and I do like things to match. In a perfect world, I would be making the cute green and pink colorway (to go with my olive pea coat). I did re-chart the pattern to include elements that I liked from all three of the colorways.

In the thrilling conclusion to a month-long saga (the music soars) Yarn Miracle proudly presents: The Perfect Cardigan Meets It’s Match!

Happy Emily wearing the Evil Twin

I have worn it non-stop since Great Gran put the crochet around the neck. There is already a pull on the sleeve (you know where you can go, Mr. Mailbox, you rat). I have really really really missed wearing this sweater. I am so happy. The Perfect Cardigan is wrapped up and stored so that I’ll have it when I’m 80. This makes me happier still. I’m sentimental that way.

    You look so happy in your Perfect Cardigan. I’m so glad you like it. I like the raglan sleeves and the subtle cabling down the front. And your socks look really great in this green.

    Emily, such a lovely pair of socks, and you look so happy in your cardigan! Beautiful! Your colorwork is coming along great as well.

    I don’t know how I got so far behind on your blog… you have been churning out some amazing things.

    I love the color pallette for the checks and charms hat! And it goes without saying that your authentic reproduction of your beloved cardigan looks great. (Are you sure you don’t want to whip out another two or three of them, just so you’ll have a lifetime supply?)

    The sweater looks fantastic Emily! Job very well done. Your color work looks great and I luuuuurrve the colors — and how cool that your peacoat is orange! I guess M will never lose you in a crowd =)

    You finished your cardigan! It looks perfect just like its name! I am glad to read you are happy with it.
    The BF sock is really nice! One down, one to go! Did you try it on? I absolutely have to try mine on when they are done. But I promise to wash them before I send them to my pal. (in case she is reading this and goes ewwwww) 😉
