What a bleh title. This is all I can manage tonight (busy day at work) but I so wanted to post CY's new sweater which she wore this Sunday to City Hall for a programme after the typhoon left us swiftly.
Pattern: Phildar Pitchoun Fall/Winter 2007/08
Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, Soft Gold, 3 skeins
Needles: 3.75mm and 4.5mm
Made the second size (4T) with thicker yarn and got a 6T size, just right! She's now officially 6!
Photo of the sleeve detailing which I really like. I mattress stitched the sleeves onto the armhole. As this is only the second time that I'm using a pattern written in French, I half guessed and half improvised with some common sense such as pairing all the decreases and increases for the sake of symmetry.
BTW, sometimes I can't help wonder how I became a mother of such a cool kid :)??

I love the CY is working her photoshoot! What a star!
The sweater is gorgeous and looks fab with the skirt you made for her. Extra styling points for her pairing the outfit with wellies. Nice.

She would have needed a sweater at City Hall! It looks fabulous, and I think that having a cool mother is to her advantage.

I must agree with the other comments, plus a bright sweater for a bright girl. You did good!

I love the pictures of CY in her cardigan! I would never have thought to put it with the clothes she's wearing it with, but it looks perfect.

This is very cute! I love her air of coolness. :)

What a fabulous sweater--in all ways, it fits CY--casual, chic, and yes, how did you get such a *cool* kid? She already has that model pout down pat! Beautiful workmanship.

Rebeca is precious. The pattern is of the magazine nº 473 pitchoun of phildar, I have tried to be able it to make one daughter and has been impossible. He would matter to him to only send that pattern to me? Thank you very much. My English is not very good, I am Spanish
