This is a drive-by post to upload photos of the finished sweater. I love it so much. It has replaced my pregnant Wallaby as most favorite knit item yet. I tried two new things on this sweater: applied i-cord and a zipper. This was made with 100Purewool 3-ply merino. Decadent stuff. If you are enterprising, you can find some for sale on some swap boards where mamas congregate because they often use it for diaper soakers and the like. You can also find some co-op buys out there for it. It's very soft.
That is a Melissa & Doug "Princess Mirror" she's holding. Sigh.
Our son is scheduled for a tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy tomorrow. We only just scheduled it today. But we had waited two weeks to see the ENT, who subsequently said today, "These need to come out. Now." So. An update will come again when possible. I'm looking forward to getting our happy go-lucky, well-rested son back.

Good luck to you all with your son's surgery. I hope it all goes smoothly and that you'll be able to breathe a big sigh of relief.
The sweater looks great. Any advice on the zipper? I have a sweater I've been meaning to put a zipper in for a year and a half now, but I can't get the gumption up to do it.
How sweet! So is that sweater.
I hope all goes well for your son's surgery.
Oh my gosh, that was quick...I'll be thinking good thoughts for N, I am sure everything will go smoothly and I'm sure he'll enjoy eating nothing but ice cream for a few days :P
And the sweater is seriously, SERIOUSLY cute. No wonder it's your new fav!
I'm so glad your son is getting 'fixed up' soon! He'll certainly be much happier once the adenoids and tonsils are gone and he can scarf down some only-when-sick-goodies! Sending best wishes to all of you!
The cardi turned out as perfectly as expected. DD looks very happy in her new grubs.
very cute - nice yarn for such a great knit!
I'm so glad you're getting your son's tonsils and adenoids dealt with. You'll all be so much happier after he heals.

How's all the snow treating you?! Our roads are still bad. I swear they plowed better for far less snow. argh. we've kinda been camping out at home... I think I'm a bit stir crazy...
The princess' sweater is lovely! So soft and pinky purple and room to grow... perfect. I'll be thinking of your little prince, too.

Oh dear - many prayers to you, I do hope he came out just fine and that everyone is doing well. The sweater is, in fact, gorgeous.
