Miss Bea's Ting-A-Ling Cardigan

Okay, I love Miss Bea's Band and so does my mini. I don't know if it was planned by the person who designed the book's layout or just a coincidence, but my mini just loves the layout of the Miss Bea's books more than I do. My mini just loves so many of the sweaters which makes the all of Miss Bea's books worth every cent.
After finishing Tinkerbell, I had left over pink and purple and my mini requested the Ting-A-Ling Cardigan. She later requested that I reverse the colors so I thought no problem. Consider it done.

Well, its done alright. When I originally said yes I must have thought that I had a few pink skeins and at least one purple. Well the reality is, I have one pink and a few purple, which you can see from the photo, is all knit up. That would have been enough to knit the sweater as photographed. I have checked all of my local cotton-ease sources and there is none to be found. So I guess it was over before it began.

I do love the ruffle though.

I love the ruffle, too? Stripes, perhaps? Or is that too busy?

Oh, don't frog! It's too cute to be frogged. It's so darling!
I think if you go to lion Brand's website they have a shop site where you can buy the Cotton Ease.

That ruffle is gorgeous! I've been eyeing that pattern as well - good luck in finding some more pink, it's too lovely to stop!

Oh no! Wait and see if you can get some more yarn before you rip though. I like the ruffle too.

Don't rip yet! Check your email. :) And, again I have to say, you're so quick.

No, no! Don't rip. I'm sure you'll find some Cotton Ease in the colors you need. The colors reversed are more darling than the original. Mini has good taste!

Do I hear the sound of a Ting-A-Ling A-long?

I would almost join that one just for the name.

You can get Cotton-Ease at e-yarn.com (http://pages.lionbrand.com/6030/InventoryPage/1470516/1.html). I'm lovin' the ruffle, too. Very, very cute.
