I love the way this looks. I have to pull out the book and see what it looks like in the book. Very nice dyeing as well.

Ooh, very pretty!

Very nice. So, um, any particular brand of easter dye? I’d love intensly bright green yarn :)

I LOVE your swatch! I then went and looked at the photo in the book. I can’t believe it is even the same pattern. I would have never been interested in it if I hadn’t seen yours. And your yarn colors are really beautiful.

Wow.
Great swatch.
I’ll have to try that one. Maybe a sock …

Gorgeous. I love your dyeing, too. Dang, I’m going to have to go buy this treasury, too.

That yarn is beautiful, and it makes the pattern freaking POP! Great job! [adds Treasury to Amazon shopping cart]

Oh, my heavens! What a gorgeous swatch. The yarn choice is great — nice & crisp! — and the colors enhance the pattern. Excellently well done! (Picked up 10 PAAS kits the other day, $.25 each; NOW I know what to do with the yellow & green!)

This is a sock pattern. I just bought sock yarn in similar colorway, now I know what to do! Beautiful pattern and colors.

That’s a perfect pattern and color combination!! Know I have to go out and buy the book.

I must have missed this one–it is my fffffavorite shade of green and the actual knitting, yarn / needle ratio, everything is just perfect.
Not just one, but TWO–count them–TWO gold stars.
