I haven't received my copy yet, but the magazine has pictures of the current issue's projects on its website. I found this link: Embossed Daisies. It features a drastically cropped photo of the sweater which serves to show off the model's sparkling white smile and a glimpse of the sweater's collar. Oh yes, and the sweater drooping a bit from her elegant, narrow shoulders. It looks to me like they steamed the stuffing out of that cotton yarn, because if you click over to the magazine photo, you will note a vast difference in the appearance of the knitted fabric versus that shown in my photo...

The day I took that photo, I vowed to my friend Jenny (who graciously modeled the sweater for me) that I would never knit for pay again. Well. Somehow, as in childbirth, the pain of that endeavor has faded and I'm ready to have another (sweater) baby. I'll be doing a tweed jacket for CK's January '09 issue. This one should be much better--after all, I've done this before...heh heh. Wish me luck.

Good luck with the baby sweater!
And the embossed daisies are so pretty! Nicely done!
SQUEE!!! They took the design!!!! I can't wait!
I adore that sweater, it is SO beautiful and just perfect for our mock Spring we're having here! :)
Yay! Have fun with the next design... designing for others can be fun, and it can be frustrating as well... try to keep on the funside of things! Oh, and plan well, so deadlines aren't so stressful... um, not that I would have any experience with deadline stress, eh-hem (clears throat and changes subject) So how's the weather been out your way?
Hehe, no really, have fun with it, cause if it isn't fun, then it's just plain work, and you don't get paid enough for that...
Happy knitting-
ali
Congratulations! The sweater is lovely! You're on a roll!
