ohh that is soooo pretty~!!

I wish I had a 10th of your talent!

I have yet to finish anything knit-wise.

i've been so anxious to see this one! looks wonderful and i especially love the fullness in the bottom. just gorgeous. glad you warned us about the smell :)

That is SO cute! I love the sweater on you.

*GASP* I adore that sweater!

I'm ordering the pattern today. Thank you for your consistent inspiration. I can always count on you.

Wow, that is gorgeous. Well done!

Such a great sweater for our cool spring evenings.

That sweater is totally fab - on you. I don't think a short, stumpy gal like myself could rock this sweater. But it is absolutely lovely on you, and the buttons are great!

WOW. Oh Wowie Wow!!! That's gorgeous. It looks smashing on you (you're adorable btw!) You've done a beautiful job and it's so fun to see a sweater that will be loved! Great Job!!!

REVEAL, Yo!!! Hi gorgeous!

What a great looking sweater. And it sure looks good on you too.

Hi Leslie,

You're sweater is FABULOUS!!! I'm incredibly envious on how wonderful yor projects are and how wonderful you look in every single thing you knot (or at least share). I just finished my first vest and was sad when i tried it on it realized....hmmmm, way too small.

The best part..you showed you too in the photo. Nice to see you share a little piece of yourself with us.

Thanks for always sharing...you and your work are a true inspiration!

it's absolutely gorgeous! and looks so nice on you! i really want to make one too now!

I wish my life would be as full as yours!! you see? All depends from the point of view. I am so impressed by your work! Wow I love that sweater! I had the book, so I had seen the pattern, but your result is much more attractive. Congratulation again for your talent!

Your sweater is so pretty, and obviously so are you, inside and outside!

Well, as I imagined, this sweater looks absolutely beautiful on you and you look beautiful wearing it! I love the covering the bum part - always a plus! Seriously comtemplating adding this one to my to do list. So often, a sweater like this is all we need here in the south. I have lots of grannies to finish first.

It's fantastic especially the peplum.

Ahhh, that's a great style, and beautifully knitted. Your button decision was good.

Your warning about the scent of this wool when wet was very, very kind. Just what one would expect from a Friend!

xo

Absolutely beautiful!

Wow - th is beautiful - and looks great on you. I need to favorite this one over at Rav for sure!!

The sweater came out beautiful!
The color brown definitely compliments your skin tone.
I love using size 10 needles, I'll have to give this sweater a try.

Leslie!!
Great to see you again! The sweater is beautiful!!

It is beautiful and looks great on you. And may I add that your photos (and modeling) are MUCH better than those on the Berroco website?

wow. You have really opened my eyes to this pattern. I didn't care for the look of it but now.. wow.

Love this sweater on you! It looks so cute and not at all like a tutu. :-) You inspired me to maybe try another sweater sometime.

What lovely work! I love the color. And I love your pink tulips too, very springy :)

I can't believe that you finished this in two weeks!!! I didn't like the look of the peplum in the pattern but you have shown us how lovely it really looks. Stunning!

Your sweater is amazing! It looks wonderful on you. I enjoy reading your great blog. It always inspires me to work on all my unfinished projects. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Oh hi back! Nice to see your face. Love the cardi. It looks like one you will wear again and again.

we just spent the day with norah today! (photo shoot) i love the sweater on you! you always choose the most interesting ones to knit, i just adore it :)

It looks fab! Hehee I couldn't help laughing at the tutu bit :)

Oh hi! This sweater is gorgeous. Seriously, you are so lovely!

What a beautiful sweater, and you are gorgeous!

very, very nice! i wanted to make it so bad...size 10 needle sound like a dream especially with a newborn in the house but i was nervous about the peplum. i think i may give it a go. so many great patterns in that booklet.

Your sweater is gorgeous! And as always, it fits you so gosh darn well! I have that wool in a maroon/plum color - got it on a huge discount - and now i'm seriously considering knitting this sweater.

Sigh...if there's one silver lining to the "ugly comment incident" it's that you put a head on your usually headless shots! And a very pretty one, at that. And one that's FULL OF LIFE!! Pretty sweater, too.

Lovely!

Another beautiful finished item and I think the buttons are perfect for it. I looked at the original pattern and wasn't that inspired but now that I see it finished and on you I've completely changed my mind..it's gorgeous.

What a gorgeous sweater! You look beautiful in it. Another thing that you have knit that tempts me to follow in your footsteps and knit one too.

LOVELY Leslie!!!

oh this looks so great on you!two weeks, eh? sounds like a fantastic pattern to me!

Oh wow, that is one gorgeous sweater! (says the jealous non-knitter). And how fun to see your pretty face. :)

So glad something that "stank" during the process really turned out well in the end. I've felted a number of bags in my day, and the wet sheep smell is just not something you can tone down easily.

love love love that Heron! (trying to imagine what it would look like on my rather rounder silhouette! lol)

And I just saw your post yesterday. Silly twat...they're clearly just insanely jealous of your button collection, don't know how to bake and can only macrame. You're lovely, as is your blog - don't let it get you down!

I love your Heron, it really suits you.
Anything that covers my derrière gets a big thumbs up from me. I'll have to give it a go myself now, though it'll definitely take me alittle longer than two weeks.

wow beautyful.....the jacket and you in it!!
greetings lee-ann

I LOVE your Heron. It looks wonderful on you. And about those "boring buttons".....they work perfectly. The sweater has such a strong design element you really don't need anything other than "boring buttons"
Thanks for sharing

As always, you have a way of making the sweater look better than the original/model does. I thought FOR SURE, there would be no way I'd be doing my usual following Leslie down the path on this one. But man, that is too fabulous to pass up. So here I go.

Oh, and by the way, cute head!

The sweater is drop-dead gorgeous. I'm just in awe!

I really like this ! I think it looks better on u than the original model ! It looks comfy too ! What is on the needles next ??

GORGEOUS!

So sorry about your silly commenter, Leslie!

The sweater is awesome! It's very stylish and looks like one of those sweaters that will look good with everything.

And . . . hello gorgeous!

Leslie, it looks fantastic! AND you included a non-headless shot for us!
Can't wait to see your next project.

Awesome sweater!!!! inspires me to knit the same! :)

Lovely!!

wow it turned out great. I love it. I do agree with that yarn being "smelly" when wet but when it's all dry it's soooo worth it.

perfection!
great work and you model it well!

giggled at the smell part! i could just see my family! :)

Great sweater !

it's really beautiful leslie! well done!

Your sweater is lovely, I adore the peplum and drape.

Fabulous! Going to look for the pattern now...

Fabulous! I just bought this pattern booklet and love the design but would probably make it less poofy at the bottom. I think it'd be really nice in a wool/alpaca blend.

What a fabulous sweater! When I first saw the pattern, I was underwhelmed, but your version is awesome - you look lovely in it. :o)

it's gorgeous on you!

It's totally cute. I like it much better on you than on the model. I love the peplum--very feminine

Well, look at you. Surprising us with a non "headless shot".
Your project turned out beautifully!
You know you really are a gorgeous gal, you should be in modeling.
Thanks for sharing!

I wished I was wrapped in that gorgeous sweater right now. If I only had enough guts to try my hand at a sweater. The shirt your wearing is also very cute.

Gorgeous, I just love it !

LOVE it! the brown is so nice on you too! such a great neutral.

oh, i am all for those two week sweaters - and the color you picked is one of my favorites. this just looks adorable, leslie - i am crazy about that peplum. LOVE!!

This sweater is so fun! I love the peplum.

Love it! And you look super cute in it too.

Very cool. I'm still not sold on the top, partially because I have a feeling that my butt is big. I know it is all in my head, but it makes it hard to pick a project that will accentuate it!

I knew this would happen...I wasn't real keen on the pattern from the picture that berroco had on its website...I'd have never chosen that sweater to knit for myself....but then you knit it up and I love it. These designers would be so smart to pay you to knit up their patterns for them....you'd sell them way more than they could sell themselves. You have a wonderful way of taking something and making it yours and making it wonderful. great job girl!

It's fabulous and looks perfect on you!

That sweater is beautiful!
I am starting a knitting course for beginners next month. I can't wait! Hopefully someday I'll be able to knit gorgeous sweaters as you do.
You're an inspiration!

Beautiful! Both you and the sweater!! The part about the "tutu" made me laugh...rest assured there is no hint of a tutu any longer and the peplum looks so pretty. Have fun enjoying your fab new sweater!

I must say I love this sweater! I just recently started reading your blog and I'm enjoying it very much. Thanks for sharing your creations, cookies and knits...both equally entertaining to read about.

beautiful!

This is absolutely gorgeous! Two weeks? I wish I could be that productive! Love the way it drapes... Lovely really, you will surely enjoy wearing it A LOT! Great color, fit and buttons! Have a great weekend!

I adore it! I love the back view of it. it looks so polished.

This is a fantastic knit! I would wear this loads as a jacket. Wait till Lily sees that peplum!

When I saw that pattern on the Berroco site, I skipped past it - now I'm re-thinking it.
I don't know if it's the way you blocked it, or if you made modifications - but whatever you did, I think your version and your photos are much more enticing and flattering than the photo on the site. Send a shot to Berroco - you could be the next cover grrl!!
Great job and you look amazing in it.

It turned out beautifully!

For every bad apple, there are hundreds of good ones, at least when it comes to the internet knitting world. You're always an inspiration, Leslie!

Beautiful! I love the shaping, and yes, the bum covering :-)

And the graciousness with which you handled an uncomfortable situation- that was beautiful too.

Love that sweater! From your blog, you seem to have a wonderful life. I always enjoy reading about your knitting projects and cookie making. You inspire me to take time for myself to knit. (not always easy with small ones to take care of). Knitting is my sanity and reading your blog has been wonderful.

It's lovely!!! You really do amaze me that you finished it in two weeks!!

amazing. your skill, your project! amazing.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did I say that it was absolutely gorgeous????? You did a great job. I love your blog - it makes me stop and think. Thanks for sharing.

Liane :)

very pretty! and not to sound too much like one of those commenters you mention, i think you should ditch the headless shots -- you are sooooo pretty! :)

Oh its a gorgeous knit, you look great in it too. I missed the last post but I do believe you have a great life compared to the commenter!

The sweater is the perfect complement to your beautiful self.

LOVE it! great job leslie! another amazing knit! i like it both buttoned and unbuttoned!

I love, love that sweater! It's perfect.

I so agree with another girl, send this photo to Berroco. When I saw this sweater on their site, I thought, I can't believe you are going to knit that thing! On you, it looks absolutely fabulous! Definitely a grab often as you run out the door type coat. Once again, thank you for your blog~for your inspiration, for your happiness, for you sharing! ~Jan

Wow. Thank looks great! So do you :) ! I think that is a sweater that I'd like to make. I do have pattern book and had plans to CO for Anhinga first.

I can't believe the 'get a life' post you got. I kind of feel bad for that person. Something if odviously lacking in their life.

You know I LOVE your blog and all the LIFE that oozes from it!

Your knitting is exquisite and so are you!!! I adore everything that you make. What is next for you to knit? i am on to some summer knitting. I ordered yarn to make the lovely purple sweater you wore in a pink cotton. I know you said it was a wonderful knit. Thank you for the continued inspiration.

I think yours lan the one on the Berrocco site! Yours looks pretty AND practical. Quite lovely.

Wow! Not sure what happened with my last comment... it was supposed to read: I think yours looks better than the one on the Berrocco site! silly electrons...

Both you and your sweater are beautiful! It looks wonderful and I'm glad to hear that you're not letting bad commenters weigh you down.

I just love the jacket how it suits and fits you. It is beautiful and looks so much better than the original pattern picture. With you showing it I would love to knit this pattern too.

Hello gorgeous! You look super + amazing in that sweater.

Browns really suit you well.

That is adorable on you! I dream of the day I can knit sweaters like "Heron."

I love this sweater...no need to beat the dead horse, but I also get similar comments(or hints) in real life. Ms Get a Life takes herself or himself too seriously. I have a very stressful job, so I should bang my head against the wall because I couldn't close a deal at work, my emotional life sucks because I miss my Mom like a little girl whom I lost last year, I have twins and I am constantly tired, and I keep getting yeast infection down there... I am sure those would make a great blog.. but while all these happen I gracefully knit every night while I watch my family, as if all is perfect. I try to make a perfect knot each time... and as I obsess about that, I relax and enjoy what I created... others can keep taking life too seriously and not understanding what makes us happy. I don't even know why they bother to come to your blog. For those people there is always the reuters news and cnn. I love your projects and you inspire me...

That is a stunning sweater! I found your site today through a friend. Adding you to my reader!

Beautiful!

That sweater has such a beautiful shape.

It is so pretty! I love it and think it is a perfect sweater coat.

Gorgeous knitting. Gorgeous face, and love the sentiment and attitude in your last post. Your life rocks :)

I've been knitting scarves and hats for a while now, and I'm thinking of branching out and trying a sweater. This one is really cute!

Your talent is extraordinary!

Yeah!!!! I've been patiently waiting!!! Loooooove it!! Can't wait to start one just for me :)

I just read your blog about "get a life"... I think you have more of a life than alot of people! You seem like a wonderful wife, mother and friend; so talented and creative! It seems like you make the most of each moment and live life to the fullest! Keep up the good work!

You're a stunner!!

Oh, that's me above^

You have a life, one that you love and that gives you and others joy. When you blog parts of that life, you share the joy with others. I love love love that coat. It is so gorgeous. It has drape and style and if you did it there all day knitting it who cares. It's beautiful.

Oh, my... the sweater fits and suits you perfectly! Great work!

so happy to see beautiful you! The sweater is awesome too by the way.

Absolutely stunning sweater. Thanks for sharing your life. You do have one!

You make the most gorgeous sweaters!! That is quite stunning. Love the color too!!
