I am heels over head in LOVE with this sweater!
I have to confess that the *balanced* striping is the result of careful
cut and paste knitting....
in which I took two different colorways of Silk Garden
(08 and 50) plus some MSWF handspun and made sure I had my love
of all things stripey (but not all matchy matchy.....)
Satisfied!
These pictures crack me up....I was going to crop them and try to edit out the
Very Obvious Pink Jigglypuff jacket that my College Girl photographer is wearing....
but, hey, where's the fun in THAT?
Speaking of FUN....here's the RACHAEL shot...teehee.
The sweater is indeed fabulous! And kudos to the photographer, who I hope returned to school tanned, rested, and ready for the Dean's list again!
Hope to see you in April!

There you go again. Looking terrific and the sweater is beautiful. Really, really like the sleeves. Not going to try the handstand myself. Maybe the Rachael if I ever finish a sweater.

Very impressive handstand! And fab Klaralund too!

Wonderful sweater and great photos. Perhaps she will be wanting to take all of your photos from now on. And was that you doing the handstand?

You look like you are about 15! Too cute! And the sweater is great too. :)

Great sweater! Awesome handstand :-)
Posted by: Melissa | March 07, 2005 at 11:45 AM
All I can say is WOW! The handstand is almost as beautiful as the sweater. Impressive!

I'm pretty sure they did the handstand thing with wires......
;-)

Terrific sweater...love the pink coat and wow! what a handstand. I wish I could do that.

How cute are YOU??!! I envy you your handstand abilities!
Posted by: Wendy | March 07, 2005 at 01:32 PM
you really have raised the photography bar --- the sweater is gorgeous, but the handstand ... there are no words!

You are RAD!!!!! I officially name this The Greta!

I mean the first pose, of course, not Klaralund itself....
Posted by: Rachael | March 07, 2005 at 06:25 PM
It looks great! I love the colors! So spring - y !

How ridiculously cute are you, anyway??
(Now I am singing Jigglypuff's song...)
Posted by: Ann | March 08, 2005 at 01:10 AM
Love the swaeter and the fun photos! Ditto Ann about the Jigglypuff song... What a gorgeous background in those photos too!

Aha! No wonder your version looks great - strategic striping. It really looks wonderful in motion. Nothing better than a great, knock around sweater.

Your Klara is wonderful!

You win the prize for best pose -- the Greta.
See you in MD!!

"The Greta." I swear, everywhere I go around I get the biggest kick from Claudia's comments! Ohhhh, you really have raised the bar. I don't think I can do it, though. Awesome modeling photos. Thank you -- I know you did it just for me!
Posted by: Norma | March 08, 2005 at 03:31 PM
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! (But I sure as hell won't be doing The Greta in any of my future FOs!)
Posted by: alison | March 11, 2005 at 03:47 PM
Great looking sweater! It looks like it would be a favorite to wear. Your back drop is wonderful, too. And I envy your ability to do hand stands...I won't be trying that for awhile longer.

Those pictures remind me of a time when I looked to my side, and I would never know if I'd see your feet or that golden hair.
