                                        So cute!  It looks perfect, how did you manage to felt everything so evenly?

                                        It looks awesome. I have yet to felt anything (on purpose, that is). I had to frog my tree sweater too. It was too big even though I had the right gauge. I should have known, this happened last time I tried to make a Zephyr pattern too. I'm making a size smaller so maybe it will work this time. I agree about having a knit-in. Isn't there one coming up at Barnes & Noble? Or did I miss it again?
