Here she is...
And on me...(sorry about the goofy angle, Jim couldn't be persuaded to actually remove himself from the couch - LOL) 
My friend Patti came over and we sat and talked while we knitted and/or in my case, sewed together the Skinny Rib Sweater and weaved in three million ends from all the knots I had to cut out of this *$22 a skein yarn*. I still have a skein and a half left, so it is either going on the destash site on Blogger or ebay. I don't think I would really wear a ribbed hat from it. Best offers, anyone? Here's the great books Patti gave me as a belated birthday gift (our birthdays are three days apart, so were last month, but we finally got a chance to get together today!)
I love all the books, but I especially love the Cables Untangled book by Melissa Leapman. I love her books. Thanks again Patti!!
That sweater looks fantastic and even more so fantastic on you!

Wow! I just love that sweater! It is so cute!
I think you should do another book review too! I had seen cables untangled book before but I just didn't know if I would like it.

The sweater looks great! Beautiful colors. I love Cables Untangled too. Haven't bought it yet but will someday. Happy belated birthday!

Nice sweater. Would that yarn felt? If so, you could make something small, and it would probably be nice. I hate those darn knots also. There should be a warning on the yarn label about them!

Very nice! I love the colors!

Beautiful!! How irritating about the knots, but that yarn certainly is gorgeous!

The sweater is awesome! So pretty and cozy looking! I love it...I feel your pain with the end weaving in!
Hey have some hubby won't get off the couch picts too!

I have been visiting your blog for a while and you have totally changed my old fashioned opinion on knitting. You have made some gorgeous pieces, and I love the colors on this one. Where did you learn to knit? Interested in sharing your knowledge?

Wow! That looks great on you!

I love that sweater! I am thinking of making the vest from Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton's first Noro book.
Great books! Especially the Wendy Knits one. She used very nice models. ;-)
