It's beautiful - you did a fantastic job on it. I keep on seeing this sweater pop up on people's blogs and it looks good on so many people.
I love it!!!
So I'm scrolling down slowly and I scroll to the top of Snowboarder's head. For a split second I think: "Ok, I know he's a good model, but please tell me he didn't want to model this sweater!" Hahaha! Cute picture of you two!
YAY!!! It looks FANTASTIC on you! Great pics Snowboarder. (Glad to see you kept the focus on her eyes and the sweater.)
(Wonders how much heavyweight it would take for my size...)
Oh, wow! It looks awesome!!!
Now I really, really want to finish mine. :D
Gorgeous! It looks wonderful! I love the colour!

It is gorgeous! You're gorgeous! Love the rockin' sweater. Good thing it started to cool off yesterday so your photo shoot wasn't a sweaty one.
And nice photog job, Snowboarder!
Have an awesome weekend trip!
Perfect! It's all that and a ball of yarn. Love it!
I've got three inches done on mine and after seeing yours I want to drop everything else and go back to knitting it.
Have fun in Portland! You picked a great time to visit. The weather we are having now makes up for the crap we get the rest of the year.
Look at you so stylin'! The sweater looks fabulous on you. And the buttons are perfect.
That's it! I have to make one of those sweaters.
really, really lovely!
and the buttons look fabulous on it.
honestly, it's inspirational.
Beautiful! Omygosh, I want one, NOW!

It's fabulous, I love it! And it looks fantastic on you! And it's in STR! Rockin' February, indeed!
Wow - fab-u-lous! I love how it looks, I am so inspired - I am working away on my yoke:)
Oh, it's just gorgeous! So beautiful on you! And I love the buttons you chose. They look wonderful! ^_^
INCREDIBLE! The sweater looks great on you. Every thing is perfect - the color, the style, the buttons! I can't say enough. I'm now determined to find the right colof for me.
You "rock" that sweater!!! It looks really fantastic on you and your photo shoot looks fun. BMFA should give you a percentage of the money that you make me want to spend with them.
I'm loving it. Great knitting and poetry too! Good work.
This is awesome, it looks great on you!
That turned out so well! The colour is beautiful too.
Beautiful! And you, radiant in it like that.
Wow - gorgeous! It and you in it!
Delicious berries and the sweater is beautiful too! Thanks for visiting in Portland! I have a feeling berries are in your future!
Your sweater is gorgeous! There, I thought you only knit beatiful socks!
....O....M....G.....!!!!!!
The sweater looks great - and those pictures of you are wonderful! Props to the wonderful photographer!
wow...really lovely sweater. It's on my list. I think the BMFA is a great choice...well, it's a great choice for everything, really. Right now I'm working on the sock club yarn from May, so everything is purple around here.
I know I already commented, but at the time I couldn't view EVERYTHING! Awesome pics-so cute you are and the sweater turned out beautifully! And that Snowboarder is looking awfully cute, himself! Hmmmm...wonder if those references to 'engaged woman' are supposed to be a big HINT?!
That sweater is even more fantastic in person...you did such a gorgeous job Carrie! Had so much fun meeting you yesterday! Safe travels home!
Gorgeous! mmm I might need one of those...in STR of course
Wow!!! That looks great on you. Good job. =)
It's beautiful on you! Fantastic time!
Snowboarder just wanted to be in the picture so we could again say how cute he is, huh?
Love the sweater. I am getting ready to knit this sweater out of STR too-do you alternate skeins with the STR? Just curious
You GO Girl! That colorway is fantastic on you!
