You look beautiful. The sweater and the scarf are just gorgeous. Its looks so soft!
I hope someday I can say I made this back in, I have only been seriously knitting 4 years and have only made myself one sweater, but I expect this too will change,
Fabulous items Margene!!!

Manise

For a minute I thought you had knit yet another sweater this month- hehe. Both sweater and Portrait are lovely.

DebbieB

VERY pretty. Like a pink cloud!

Laurie

The scarf is beautiful.

I love classic knits. I didn't peg it for late '80s. I have Mom sweaters from the 1970s that are still going strong AND look up to date.

Vera

The scarf is like cotton candy.

Jennifer

Wow - that scarf is gorgeous and I'm drooling over the cardigan. What a great combo!

Carole

The scarf is wonderful and that pink is very flattering. Love that black sweater, too.

Sarah HB

Looks lovely and the sweater you have from 1988 also looks nice too!

susan

Great sweater (and scarf, too). I loved that Knitaly yarn. Superwash, worsted weight wool. No sadly discontinued.

Kathleen

Vera is right...like cotton candy. Granny often talks about machine sewn button bands and holes and grosgrain ribbon. Does it have the ribbon too? I also love Knitaly. Granny is slowly running out of it. I knit my brothers socks in it. As Cameron likes to say, "Still lookin' good!"

Wanda

That is just gorgeous Margene. Such a pretty piece of pink delicacy. I can see why you love it.

And that sweater looks great and very much still in style. That's what I love about classic knits. You can't go wrong with it.

Lola LB

Oh yes! I so loved that yarn! Wish it hadn't been discontinued. I still have a sweater that I haven't work for years because the sleeve edges had unraveled some. I think it's time to reclaim the yarn for another project.

Dianne

Pretty In Pink~~The scarf is quite lovely and you wear it well~

Paula

Dahling that scahf is mahvelous!

Norma

What a wonderful combo and contrast -- the super-soft cloud-like pink at the neck of the steel sweater. Love it. You knew I would LOVE a classic sweater that you still wear! Awesome.

bellamoden

*adds yet another mohair confection to the queue*

It's gorgeous! The pink is just perfect.

And wow! I hope I'm wearing my sweaters that far in the future too. It's gorgeous. And classic.

Cara

You are too cute!!!

Marcia Cooke

I remember Knitaly! And all those cables! I think I'd have had it professionally finished, too. The scarf is just perfect, like the foam on a strawberry ice cream soda! (You are making me look like a slug: one lousy sock finished this weekend, sheesh.)

ruth

The scarf is so pretty. I was toying with making one, but after seeing yours, I'm convinced.

jess

Love how the scarf turned out! I started one in a thicker gauge mohair but it's slow-going for me!

And yes, that sweater is completely classic -- love it, and I hope I'm still wearing some of my sweaters years from now :)

Teresa C

Dontcha love it when you knit so many sts and for so long and you can still wear it these many years later? It is a great sweater and the scarf complements it wonderfully.

Chris

The scarf is pretty, but I was really admiring the sweater and wondering when you snuck in the knitting on that one. :) I can't believe that it's almost 20 years old.

Lolly

The scarf is so pretty and feminine. A lovely little knit. Nice cardigan too! Nothing like a good cozy piece that is a classic style. I wonder how I will view the knits I am making right now in 20 years? I hope they have the stay power that your cardi does!

Sarah

I love it!

Kathy

I think that sweater looks great. And the scarf is absolutely lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing what else this week brings.
