Yea, Becky, and mama Leigh! This morning the only way I could get Caroline to try on her poncho was by suggesting we give it to her friend Emily for her birthday, and then saying she had to try it before watching _Arthur_. She loves the hooded cardie I knitted for her, so maybe it is just the unfamiliarity of this garment type -- or that she's two!

Posted by Ruth in Houston at September 25, 2003 02:43 PMthat looks gorgeous leigh - i just knew you'd make good use of that yarn. i love it and so obviously does becky..
i also love all these posts - gives me more excuse to stop by here all the time!
and finally - yes i think the stars did align today. something very strange is happening to me at work and i read my horoscopes today which explained it all (??!) there must be something in the air!

Posted by carolyn at September 25, 2003 05:56 PMWhat an adorable little sweater. A clever and fashionable little pattern. Phildar, I assume. They are too good! Becky looks so sweet in it. So glad that she loves it. Smart girl. :0)
Posted by alison at September 25, 2003 06:55 PMOh, tres chic. Are you gonna let her pierce her belly button? It would show so nicely in the cropped cardi . . . teehee. (We best joke about it now while we can.)
Posted by Kerstin at September 25, 2003 07:02 PMThe sweater looks great on Becky. I like the tall ribs and the color is lovely. You are on a roll. Hope you are feeling back to normal by now.
Posted by Melissa at September 25, 2003 07:42 PMah, just when you think you have the little buggers figured out, they change the rules. Blast them!
She looks adorable! Nice nice bella cardi! good job, Leigh!
but more importantly, YOU were asleep by 9???!?!!!! Good thing I didn't get wind of it, I would have sent the rescue paramedics out your way to check your pulse!
Hives gone??
S.
Oh she is precious! I love the color! Two is such a wonderful age ;-)
Posted by Nancy at September 25, 2003 10:48 PMBella Becky is adorable! Oh, to have a little girl to knit for.
Hope you get to feeling better soon!
Posted by Kim at September 26, 2003 07:26 AMToo cute!!!! Fantastic sweater, Leigh! Becky looks so sweet in that color!
Posted by Susan at September 26, 2003 10:05 AMVery pretty sweater. Isn't it wonderful when they actually want to wear what you've knit them?
Posted by Sarah at September 26, 2003 11:08 AMMy two munchkins are just starting to want me to knit for them. I was knitting for everyone else but them and they started to notice! Beautiful color on such a cutie pie of a little girl. My dd is 10.5 now....I miss those younger years.
Posted by Chelee at September 26, 2003 11:49 AMBecky is such a sweetie and her sweater is so cute! I like the way the ribbing goes up the arm like that. Hope you feel better soon!
Posted by Nanette at September 26, 2003 03:48 PMOh the Bella sweater, so aptly named, is adorable on Becky. Shouldn't I make one for Chloé? Where can I find the pattern ? Beautiful work as usual.
I plan to join you for the wrappy dress. I called and ordered my copy of DB#6. When do you plan to start?
That is an extremely happenin' sweater for such a little girl. Nice combo of pattern/yarn!
Posted by claudia at September 27, 2003 09:19 AMThe Bella Cardie is so pretty! The pink looks great on Becky. It's just a fabulous little sweater.
Posted by alison at September 29, 2003 02:02 AMWhat a beautiful little girl! And in such a trendy and wonderful sweater! Good job MOM :)
