Just stunning. When I think I am beyond inspiration, you strike again. Lovely work.

Would it be possible to see a picture of it being worn, and buttoned all the way?
Thank you

So stunning and love the yarn you used! This would look great with a pair of winterwhite colored pants. Yes, could we see it on you buttoned all the way down.

Anna - it's wonderful. I'll be back to purchase, once the Olympics are over, and I figure out my to-do list!

I've already bought it and I can't wait to start it. I just finished Jess and I love wearing it. Thanks for interesting, beautiful designs!

Yaaaaaay! Bridie, here I come!

The only thing stopping me from purchasing this now is that I'm at work and don't want to risk losing the download. Hooray! Another gorgeous winner.

Hi!
I'm not sure how I found your blog but I LOVE it! I just purchased Bridie! What a great design! I am loving the asymetric opening..how flattering for everyone! The lattice stitch pattern will be fun to knit...looking forward to knitting it very soon! I am also looking forward to perusing your archives for more inspiring knitting!
Thank you and Happy Knitting!

The cardigan is really beautiful!
I could think of knitting this in the future.
What size is the model wearing?

I am not 100% sure that this is something I would knit as I am little Miss Classical. But I want to thank you for doing things differently and making us all think. There are not enough designers creating patterns that are not the same as so many that have come before. Maybe I will have to start thinking outside of my "classics" box! A.x

Oh no! I came by today to buy this pattern, and it's gone!
What happened?

I wish I could buy it now, it's gorgeous!

Hi Anna
I am thinking about purchasing some yarn for this project but the one I had in mind has a slightly tweedy aspect to it. In your opinion do you think this will still work? (it's a light beige color yarn)
Posted by: mimsie at October 19, 2006 10:38 AM
Dear Anna,
I would really like to buy this pattern, I think it's a georgous design. Will it really not be available until Autumn 2007?! I am a knitter living in London and love your website and work.

Hi,
I would love to buy this pattern! A friend of mine, High Energy Jenny, is knitting it right now and it's absolutely gorgeous. Please let me know how I may purchase it. Thank you!
Best,
Alison
