I have another finished object! I am feeling drunk with power and self satisfaction! Bwahahahaha! Actually, that’s not really true, but it does feel kind of good to finish things. May I present the Ribby Cardi!
I tell ya, that Bonne Marie has done it again! It’s a great pattern and fun to knit up. I wore it today, and it was very comfy. I am thinking that one in cotton would be a great spring sweater. I have a couple balls of the main body color left, but I can’t remember how many I started out with. I should really write these things down.
And a bonus photo. I’ve been getting a lot of fun packages lately, but I really had to share this one with you. Yup, it’s my very own Sew Dorky donut, sent by the one and only Action Hero Melissa:
Wow, what great colors for your ribby cardi! I love your blog – keep up the great knitting!
Your sweater is so beautiful! I love the donut, too! : )
The Ribby Cardi looks great on you and I love your choice of colors! I’m thinking I should be making one of these for myself. BTW, Can’t you look at the receipt for the yarn and find out how much you bought?
You are the cutest. I LOVE the colors of this one, and I can tell it’s gonna get lots of wear.
🙂
wow, that is really a great color combo. looks great. can’t wait to get started on mine. perfect fit.
The sweater looks fabulous! Pink & green are some my favorite colors!
it turned out great. makes me wish i was working on mine right now!! 🙂
Oooh, looks so good! I’m almost there with mine, I am! (muddling along on sleeve caps)
That sweater is *very* Mariko.
This is a compliment. 🙂
Nice zipper job, you sewing queen.
I love your color combo! And the donut is great too!!!
Wow, it looks totally great on you! I’m loving that pattern so much.
Sew Dorky .. tee hee.
LOVE it! I hope to start one of my own soon, in Cascade 220 and Quattro. Beautiful, you.
Well they’ve got a new dance and it goes like this
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Yeah the name of the dance is Peppermint Twist
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Well you like it like this, the Peppermint Twist
It goes round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
Round and round and a up and down
And a one two three kick, one two three JUMP!
Rock ON, Missy Eggplant – I hug and kiss you! YOU & the Ribby are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Watermelon!
The ribby is cute! (What will you finish next?)
The Eggplant version is stupendous! It looks like a perfect fit. Nice work Mariko.
Lovely ribby card! Such a great fit!
You ROCK!! Love those colors. It seems to be the sweater to knit these days. I’m sure I’ll be doing one soon too.
That sweater is so supereggplant!! Love the colors and that donut is positively precious! Hey, is your green color 3705 New Leaf? If so, that’s what I got, with Dusky Purple for the body. Any tips for the rest of us who haven’t cast on yet?
Hi Mariko, Your Ribby is supercute. But, I can’t believe you beat me! I finished all the knitting & weaving in of ends of mine. Now I have to hunt a zipper. Oh, and I love your running top. Way to go with the serger! (yes, I’m fawning)
LOVE your colors and, like Carolyn, this makes me wish I was working on mine right now, too!
Bravo! It looks great and wonderful on you.
Your Ribby turned out great and you found a perfectly matched zipper! Knitting one in cotton is a great idea.
too cute!
Now I know who I’m going to ask questions of when I get to that difficult zipper part.
And your donut looks almost good enough to eat!
If you ordered the yarn from elann you can log in and look up past purchases.
I love the color combo — like a wearable eggplant, very appropriate.
The Cardi and donut…both are oh so yummy!
Hi, sooooo great your Ribby cardi! Splendid color matching! and nice on you. Conglat!
