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!

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.

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

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. :)

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. :)
