I'll remember that for some day when my skills are a tad farther along than they are. It's just beautiful!

When you said you were ready you weren't kidding! It's awesome, and I can attest to the fact that it is worth every penny. This is an extremely well thought out pattern. Congrats!

It looks great! I love your work! Such inspiration. Keep up the awesome work. I was wondering if you are the same Marnie that made the Orange Shawl that was featured in this Spring's Spin-off issue. If so I love it and it was the inspiration that I needed to nudge me off the edge into spinning bliss. I promptly went out and bought a spindle and some pretty roving to practice on. :) I posted a pic on my blog, check it out! It's not lace weight but it's not bad for a first time!

Wow, what a beautiful sweater. I might have to learn how to do stranded colourwork! :) Nice range of sizes too; thanks for that!!

Wow, my skillset isn't there yet, but I do love this sweater. It accentuates the positive without shouting, if you get my drift. I need to do some colorwork elsewhere before I tackle a sweater with it, though.

What fun... I grew up in Astoria and am a life long Oregonian. I might just have to buy this one:)

Absolutely stunning! And all those extras are why you are one of my favorite designers. Being able to chart your colors is so cool! :)
