It's absolutely gorgeous -- delicate, but not at all twee. I love the color combination of the yarn and the buttons.
It's beautiful! And I love the picture too! It fills my soul with peace!
Beautiful! I've never liked Kidsilk haze jelly but i have to admit it looks amazing used for this cardigan. Excuse my stupidity, but I can't seem to find the Paypal link on your website; where is it? Must have pattern now!!! :)
I love this! It will go on my to do list once I get done with a couple of looming projects!
Wow Melissa, that is fabulous. I love the colors just as much as the pattern. And those buttons! So elegant and perfectly appropriate for tea time!
oh, it's beautiful! the color, the stitch pattern, the buttons. simply lovely.
I love it! Your photoshoot is great, too. Definitely adding this to the queue!
Oooh! Melissa, that sweater is so beautiful. I'm swooning over it all over again. (The buttons are the perfect touch.) The photo looks fabulous, too - you look lovely.
I LOVE IT! I've been looking for a sweater pattern for KSH for awhile and this is IT!
Shayo,
The buy now button is in the right side bar, right under the small picture and "grannie smith cardigan" $5.00. Maybe it's just not showing up in your browser? I can also email you the pattern manually if you go to paypal and transfer $5 to me at neoknits AT yahoo DOT com.

How beautiful! Love the colors too.
It's beautiful! And such a lovely photo of it too.

I *love* it! I need to make that, I think. AND I have some KSH, too! :)

GORGEOUS! and I love the pic. :)
Yay! How do you do it? Another successful project, with a pattern to boot! I haven't knit with KidSilk Haze yet. How does it feel to wear? Itchy at all? So pretty. Love the color you chose, too. :)
I love this sweater~it's soooo beautiful. I'll be adding it to my to do list soon. Also, thanks so much for the kind comment you left at my blog. I appreciate it.
Of course I had to buy the pattern right away. Anyone insterested in KAL sometime?
Very pretty sweater. I love the name ... it is perfect!
It's wonderful! And in the quintessential, the all time best KSH color. *drool*

Melissa,
I can't believe I am just seeing this for the first time tonight, but I must say how lovely and delicious your new fabulous design is! WOW! You have so much talent (and then some!).xo-anjo
holy moly. I love it. And of course, the fact that it is knit up in my FAVORITE color just adds to its beauty. I may have to bump this up in my project list. I'd be interested in doing a knit along!
Wow. That is a fantastic cardigan. Very, very nice.
I have been planning on getting this pattern since the first time I saw it - I think it is lovely!
There is a lot of information on special sizing and fitting in BGK -the book was worth it price just for that alone.
Please please let there be a KAL for this, I have the yarn in hand and am swatching now. *swoon*
I really love your pattern -- I just bought a copy and I'm dying to get started. I also just saw the pattern you designed for MagKnits and it's lovely. I hope you keep doing lots of designing! Thanks for the lovely patterns.
It is beautiful! I just love it!
That cardi is just scrumptious!

I wwnt a copy of your Grannie Smioth cardigan pattern but I need to send a money order. Can you do that for me?
Kathryn Noland
I love this pattern and have so many friends knitting it. I want to knit it also.
Hi Kathryn,
Sure, I would be willing to take a money order. Please contact me at neoknits AT yahoo dot com and I'll give you my address.
Melissa
Beautiful pattern, beautiful choice of yarn, beautiful styling--but why a bouillon cup?
This cardigan has a wonderful colour, almost exactly like some mohair I just bought in Guangdong! I'm making a cardigan out of it too because my old one died...
Thanks for sharing the picture. I'm not sure about the buttons... they make the piece look a little less vintage than I would like.
Just found your site and this sweater is going to the top of my queue. Lovely.
I just found and love the pattern. I'm wondering how accurate your yarn requirements are. I would probably make a size 36--are 4 skeins truly enough or do I need to splurge for the 5th?
Thanks!
Anonymous! Sorry I don't know how else to contact you.
I would say the yarn requirements are fairly accurate with some wiggle room for those that knit tighter/looser. I haven't heard any problems with people running out of yarn, so you should be good with the 4 skeins.
Your blog is very nice
i like your blog ....
Wow! Really nice design. You have such so many dresses for sale. You should seriously consider getting your OWN (not blogspot or wordpress) e-commerce website. It will be an instant hit.
