You took a nice pattern and made it beautiful and interesting.
This will be an enjoyable knit.
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern.
I will definitely be knitting up both the hat and the sweater.

This looks like a great pattern. I think any baby would be adorable in a cute jacket like this.

How can you knit the back of the shawl collar to lay down flat instead of standing up? Increases? How do you stay within the pattern if you make the increases? I am acutally doing the original Bliss 2x2 ribbing because I didn't want to get too complicated - but still, the same problem.
Thanks,
Suz

Can you explain where you placed the buttonhole, and how you worked it? Thanks so much for this pattern!

Hi - I started this sweater to-day - it shows the gauge 17st = 4 inches - that is good - but what about # of rows? I've knit 35 and it seems quite long - I am concerned about the 40 rows to begin the underarms - I am measuring 22 rows to 4" - does this seem right to you? the baby is a newborn and I'm thinking this would be good for fall for her - I hope you are still 'on line' and can answer - I will wait a bit to hear from you before continugin to knit to the 40 rows - my personal email is mspencerbenson@shaw.ca - I would be so happy if you would help
