As she was putting the cardi on, I found myself giving her the same kind advice my mother had given me. As I was buttoning the cardi, I told her she should always leave a couple buttons open at the neck to show how beautiful it was , and leave the last button at the bottom edge of the cardi open to emphasize the gracefulness of her waist.
Growing up in France, I learned to love the timeless beauty of simple lines, of an understated lace panel, a shoulder, a perfect button, of simple knits.
The sweater is done, but I still have work. The pattern now needs to be sized and edited before I can offer it as a pdf.

The sweater is beautiful, as is your daughter, although she still looks a little "peaked" as we say in the south. Hope she's feeling better.
Simply beautiful!
Beautiful sweater, beautiful model! I can't wait to make this one for my granddaughter.
She looks so beautiful in her new cardi! Both of your creations, daughter and sweater, are gorgeous. I hope Little Miss Sockpixie is feeling better.
I totally love the photo AND the sweater. The color is perfect for spring. Looking forward to seeing the sizes available.
What a beautiful series of photographs! The cardi looks wonderful, and little Miss SockPixie looks simply lovely!
Thank you for making such beautiful photographs of Little Miss Sockpixie. ~Mr. Sockpixie
Beautiful photos, beautiful sweater! I wish I had a little girl to knit this for!
Simply lovely!
I am speechless. The sweater, the model, and the picture are incerdibly beautiful!
Both your projects, the finished and the unfinished, are beautiful...but the unfinished one is, of course, the most beautiful ;-)
But I can copy the sweater, not the child (I have 4 of my own unfinished!)
She's such a great model, too!
Thank you all. Little Miss SockPixie and I are very touched by your comments.
This came out very pretty! Your pictures are superb!
Your project has just been featured on my blog!
