Very, very cute. I will have my older daughter look at this one. She is very, very picky, very slim and very stylish. This might be something she would actually let me knit for her!!

Thanks so much for your kind words about Mermaid! I had just bloglined your site a couple of days before, so was very surprised and flattered to find your comments. Congratulations on the book - looking forward to getting a copy.

Oh that's beautiful! Love the ribbing.

Congratulations on your book.

Isn't Black Swan Green wonderful? And so different from his other books.

Tulip is absolutely lovely. I love the pink and green with yellow scheme in the pic. Wow, congratulations on your book! :)

i love tulip's neckline.

[Wanda]

I found you via Knit and Tonic! What an absolutely fabulous pattern. It looks beautiful. The neckline is especially lovely.

[Gaile]

I totally love this, especially after seeing it in another colourway on Wendy's blog (knit and tonic). Except my size isn't included. But then, horizontal stripes and I don't mix either, and it's the stripes that really make this top (imho)!

I just ordered the tulip pattern and love it- you are very talented. I would love to make it in a solid color, Do you have any yarn substitution suggestions besides Katia Jamaica?
Thanks!

thanks, julia!

i'm not all that familar with summer yarns at this gauge... rowan handknit cotton, rowan calmer (though this might be a bit too lightweight to prevent the neckline from flipping over). you definitely want to choose a yarn that has a bit of heft.

I LOVE your tulip tank top. Anyway, you could upsize the pattern for a size 48"? Thanks so much; you're inspiring! Roz

Very pretty! I just ordered your pattern. I think it will be a wonderful sweater for spring... assuming that spring gets here, of course!

Your designs are so very nice and unique, is there any chance of you designing for the plus sizes one day? Many plus size knitters are so frustrated with the lack of well designed patterns.

Those knitted slippers are the neatest things I have seen in a looooonnnnggg time.

Keep them coming.
