NaKniSweBloPoMo Fini!

Headoverheelsforscoop

I've fallen head over heels for Scoop!

This was a fun, fast, classic knit that went together so smoothly, so nicely and I'd love to knit a second one, right now!  I've been wearing this sweater almost everyday since she crossed the finish line.  The fabric, the fit, the warmth, and style, are to live for. She's the perfect, dress up, dress down, always lookin' good sweater.  If I ever knit with Peace Fleece again you can bet it'll get the rough treatment.  It softened wonderfully and the itch factor vanished!

Scoop looks marvelous! I love the style and color. Thanks for the info along the way, especially about how you handled the yarn. It looks like you took those pictures in my backyard with all the leaves!

How cute are YOU in all those leaves??? Your sweater is delightful - it looks like it was MADE for you. Oh wait, it was! :-)

It looks absolutely perfect! And you and Smith certainly had fun with that photo shoot. I can only wear my Peace Fleece sweater when it's REALLY cold.

Congratulations on all your November accomplishments! The sweater looks great. I can hardly wait until I get the Peace Fleece I have ordered.

I LOVE it, Margene. And with those mitts too -- how wonderful.

I absolutely LOVe the first picture....it is so you! I love your new sweater and I miss you!

Scoop looks great and I love the first picture! I haven't jumped in a pile of leaves since I was a kid. Did I miss your 007 post for November?

It looks beautiful, Margene ... and such a great color.

Classy sweater..on a Classy Lady..love the mitts too.

It turned out fabulously - a lovely perfect fit. Hopefully it was easy to pick off all the leaves after the shoot. ;)

You're braver than me to get in all of those leaves with the spiders!! The sweater looks great. :)

Scoop looks great and you look like you're having waaaay too much fun in those leaves.

Fantastic sweater Margene and very fun pictures!

Oh, I remember the Peace Fleece fondly when it was just a babe on the skein, and look at it NOW!!! That is just an awesome use of that yarn -- couldn't be better.

And you, taking it easy in December with the knitting? I'll believe it when I see it. :)

The sweater and the pics are so great! I love that color too.

You are a mad woman and we love you for it! Scoop looks awesome...as do you. Owen loves to jump in leaves. He makes little piles and jumps and throws them. :)

Brava! And the colors are splendid.

That's a winner, Margene! Perfect yarn choice for the pattern.

You're such a cutiepie. :-)

You are too much fun! Congratulations on a finished knit!

LOVE! THE! PICS! And the sweater too! Yay!

Oh boy, leaf angels!! The sweater looks awesome! Good job.

Beautiful sweater, Margene. It looks like you are having so much fun in all those leaves!

Great sweater - and the first and last picture are So. Much. Fun! Yay for fall!

Scoop looks great! Wow that is one good sized pile of leaves. Did you have to rake all of them?

Looks like you're having fun and that's what truly matters. Process...

Although it doesn't hurt when the product is as lovely as this one...

Blessings, friend!

You look so fabulous!! So does the sweater. I'm so impressed.

So ... why are you giving away your Christmas ornaments (as read at Carole's?

Hot damn! That sweater turned out just great! It looks terrific on you and it's a pretty color and shape and everything. Oh, did you have to actually rake up those leaves? Have a wonderful weekend!

It's fantastic Margene! It fits you wonderfully, too.
; )

Both sweater and model are too cool for words. Speaking as someone who requires months, and sometimes years, to finish a sweater, I'm way impressed that you could do it in a month.

Scoop does look like the perfect all around sweater/cardi.

I'll miss your daily posts, but look forward to seeing all the knitting you accomplish with the spare, non-blogging, time.

There is Margene, having fun in her handknits again.

What a great sweater for you! I love it.
I know we won't do without you posting in December, you say you'll take it easy, but you won't. Not every day maybe, but most of 'em.

So much "joie de vivre" it is wonderful to see! That sweater looks warm, I'm all about warm these days. And such a beautiful colour!

Beautiful! I can't wait to knit mine! I sure love that color and miss falling into the leaves....Le sigh...

Love the sweater, love the photos! Does your photographer hire out?

Oh Margene, that is beautiful! I want to make one for myself now! Great job!

It looks just fabulous--great sweater!

great sweater- great color- great photo shoot (especially the ones in the leaves.) You're a hoot.

It looks absolutely beautiful!

I love the yarn you chose for that design- I started knitting it with a cotton/silk yarn and thought it might be too "floppy" for the pattern. I had wanted a lightweight sweater. After seeing yours, I'm rethinking that.

It's wonderful! Beautiful color. Love the leaf-dancing pictures!

Oh it's so cute! I never liked this sweater much on the website, but it fits perfectly and and is a great shape for you. Rethinking this one for the queue. And you look like a big kid in that leaf pile! Have a great weekend!

Looks great! Just in time for perfect sweater weather.

Awesome! I always enjoy your photo shoots :)

rocking!! It turned out great!

It's lovely, Margene!

Look at you having fun. In another week or so you'd be making snow angels. lol. Great job, Margene. It's beautiful on you.

It's such a great sweater on you! Very classy and classic.

Gorgeous! You're right - Peace Fleece does greatly improve after some abuse. It looks like the perfect sweater to brighten up the gray and brown of winter.

How fun! It has been nice following your daily adventures this month, and even better to see your hard work rewarded with such a wonderful sweater.

Oh my, the sweater looks perfect on you and I love those photos, you look so happy!
Have a great weekend.
