Having a plan is GOOD!

I finished a couple of inches on the baby cardigan last night. See:


Those are my Valentine's Day flowers in the back. Patrick sent them from Montreal.*

Here's a close up of the stitch pattern:


I'm using Debbie Bliss' Ribbon-Edged Cardigan from Special Knits, but modifying the pattern slightly. I'm knitting the body as one piece, and I think I'll try some raglan sleeves - I have NO idea if this will work!! I'm going to try knitting the sleeves in the round - the first time I made this sweater, the sleeves were a little messy where I joined them.

*I forgot to post a picture of my flowers earlier. After almost 2 years, this is the first time that Patrick has sent me flowers! I'm totally fine with that - we both believe that its more about how you treat the other person on a daily basis, than how you treat them on one day of the year. Anywho... I loved the flowers and they have a great story behind them. A very good friend of mine got married about 3 months after Patrick and I started dating. I debated whether or not to bring him to the wedding, but decided I would. I was in charge of picking up some Gerber daisies for decorations and decorating the restaurant - Patrick agreed to help!! The wedding was happening in a part of town that has a flower shop every third store - with tons of Gerber daisies! Except on the day of the wedding!! Patrick and I must have driven around for 3 hours trying to find 20 red Gerber daisies!! It was the first time we had to do something a little more serious together. We finally found all of the daisies, and needless to say, we didn't kill each other. Gerbers have kind of become our special flower. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
