Comments: I knit this sweater for Saralee's granddaughter. She picked out the pattern and the yarn and bought the yarn. I had a ton of yarn left. I made the first sleeve a size too small, so I ripped down and re-knit it correctly. I duplicate stitched the patterns on some of the hearts. The vertical striped hearts were done stranded and pull in a little bit. The sweater is designed to be oversized, but I ended up a little off gauge and the sweater is a little big. I had a bunch of yarn left over, so I made some hats to match.

Comments: I don't know why this sweater took me so long to make. I thought I'd be able to finish it in 3-4 months. I did have some trouble with the first sleeve, since I read the chart incorrectly. I also forgot to make the edge of one of the fronts in garter stitch, so I ripped it out and re-knit. Turns out that edge is turned in and sewn to the zipper, so I probably didn't have to do that. I ended up knitting it a little longer than the pattern calls for and I wish it was just a little shorter. I knit the ribbing on the bottom of the body a little shorter too since I'm so short waisted.

Comments: I knit another scarf out of G.A. Fluff back in 1998 and it's starting to look pretty grungy, so I decided to make another one in this pretty pink.
