What is that big bright orb in the sky? Why 'tis the sun and it's shining on the first Lily of the season.
Lily and I came to an understanding and now have a mutual admiration society. Lily's lovely looks can't help but make others look better, and for that reason, I'm rather fond of wearing her. Lily the comfortable, the beautiful, the elegant…nothing more can be expected of a sweater. She's the third sweater I've knit from the Twist Collective and every one of them were favorites to knit, and are now favorites to wear.
The yarn, Cascade Venezia Worsted, is elegant, soft and durable and shows off the detail in the pattern to perfection. Together, Lily and the yarn, exceed expectations with their sheen, smooth appearance and lovely hand. You can read the other specs in this post.
This is sweater number 4 of 2009 and she's a perfect sweater for this time of year. This attachment and unZen like attitude of obsessive sweater knitting may be getting to me. There could be worse obsessions, however.
I love Lily. (Raveled here)
Oh SO pretty and you look great in it!
Hello from very sunny Tel Aviv to you and Smith too :)

Lily is lovely. And you look very happy and healthy in spite (or because) of your obsession. So I'm looking forward to sweater number five.

Lily captured my eye when I first saw her in Twist Collective. Seeing her on you makes me want to knit her even more!
The snow cap mountains make me yearn for a trip out west!
