I think I'm going to keep it as is for the time being at least. <BR/><BR/>Its not as though my daughter doesn't still love the sweater, she does, its just way way too small. I had some more of the lilac Rowan handknit dk that the edging is done in and a while ago not thinking I gave it away to someone. The colour's now discontinued and I can't get anymore.<BR/><BR/>Into the attic it goes - I think.<BR/><BR/>ruby xxJust call me Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900845943945737063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35036043.post-90561976908404840992007-06-24T14:52:00.000+01:002007-06-24T14:52:00.000+01:00Dear Ruby, This is the 1st or 2nd time I have visi...Dear Ruby, <BR/><BR/>This is the 1st or 2nd time I have visited your blog and was stunned to see your dilema about such a FAB sweater. I don't think it is dated at all. I think kids sweaters are timeless, and I include this one in my opinion. I would put that on one of my kids in a minute. <BR/><BR/>My vote is to save it for grandchildren. <BR/><BR/>There are some sweaters that aren't special enough to save, but this isn't one of them!!! <BR/><BR/>My two cents!<BR/>MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35036043.post-31106405539905493722007-06-18T00:36:00.000+01:002007-06-18T00:36:00.000+01:00Hi I hope you don't mind me commenting on the swea...Hi <BR/><BR/>I hope you don't mind me commenting on the sweater, but it reminds me of some of Debbie Abraham's 'blankets & throws' as well as the drawstring bags and cushions she makes. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps as a sweater it is dated but I think it has a future as a cushion or bag that could be used again and again and again... <BR/><BR/>I liked your 'paper' bag on Knitty BTW. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes...BernieCraftyberniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794569742594543642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35036043.post-58461265371290606072007-06-16T19:56:00.000+01:002007-06-16T19:56:00.000+01:00sorry to have found your lovely blog when you are ...sorry to have found your lovely blog when you are having to deal with sadness - but stay positive as you say x<BR/>sending best wishes to you and your dad<BR/>tracy xTracy xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360766557024188074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35036043.post-55544485599179922412007-06-15T02:57:00.000+01:002007-06-15T02:57:00.000+01:00Hello Ruby,I've been looking at your patterns on K...Hello Ruby,<BR/>I've been looking at your patterns on Knit-on-the-net & popped over to your blog. You certainly have creative flair. Your cloche may be just what I need to do some stash busting.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to read of your Dad's illness. I remembered when I first realised my Dad had suddenly become 'old' & his machinery was wearing out. Sometimes its hard being a loving daughter. <BR/>My Best Wishes to you both, <BR/><BR/>-- Aussie Jay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35036043.post-69010798394101102772007-06-14T08:39:00.000+01:002007-06-14T08:39:00.000+01:00Hi Ruby,Man, I don't envy you having to decide wha...Hi Ruby,<BR/><BR/>Man, I don't envy you having to decide what to do with that sweater. Any chance you could keep it for (hypothetical, one day) grandchildren? You could maybe deconstruct it and make something new for your daughter out of the yarn -- a bag or the border of a blanket or something (this last one I've suddenly embellished in my mind with visions of her taking it off to uni and looking at it fondly when she's having a tough time and calling you... Or something like that).<BR/><BR/>How exciting to see someone's version of your bag! That's awesome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
