Jane, this wrap is absolutely LOVELY. I like either verison, the cardigan or the wrap version. Will you be offering it as a pattern soon?

Hello Jane, Your work is stunning, as always. I would like to see a version of this, yes, as a cardigan, sans buttons, but with sleeves. Your choice of colors and your designs are beautifully balanced. I also yearn for a long-ish lightweight (but appropriate for most of the year)coat- maybe with black as the background, but enticing shades of fuschia, mahogany, greens... Just rambling. Love your entries. How full is the Knititaly trip? I am still trying to work out coming.

Happy Birthday!!! I won't even ask about numbers, cuz who cares anyway! And yes, Jane, I have also had the Wayward Design Syndrome in my creations. Back when I sewed up everything I could think of, I often began with a concept and ended up with many extras. Mostly, it was along the lines of intending something to wear with jeans and at the finish line, I had some incredible art-to-wear that was far too elegant for jeans. Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ........Mardi

Forsythias? Blooming flowers? WAIL! Oh, well, in April I'll be going to London and Spain so will hold out for a dose of true spring then. In the meantime, revel in spring, my more-temperate climed friends! Jane
