I love this sweater and I feel that this is the beginning of many cardis for my mini. She's into layers right now and loves buttons and zippers (guess that's next). I have to say the ruffles are my favorite part and I plan on incorporating them into future knits. I could go on and on, but I'll stop at the fact that its a Miss Bea's pattern, gotta love it.
Now which Miss Bea's sweater will be next?
(and for those of you who remember the grafting that was holding up ting-a-ling , I ended up using a 3-needle bind off at the join of the two colors) The ruffles aren't grafted as planned, but I love them just the same.
No more pics mom, I need a break...

Wow, soooo adorable! The chin in the hands pic is so cute. Perfect colors too.
Awww -- Miss Mini is adorable as always in her lovely knits.
Don't give up on the E. Cardigan, Froggy! It's NOT you -- it's the pattern. (FYI, I cast on 46 sts. for the sleeve cuff this time.)
Oh it is soooo cute! Beautiful knitting! I bet your daughter loves it!
Awww! What a fun sweater! I love the ruffles and the colors are excellent. Lucky girl!
What a lovely cardi! From the photos, your mini sure is looking very happy with her new cardi. My daughter loves Miss Bea and is pestering me to get the other books.
Awww... Mini looks so pretty and such a perfect pink too. I love the seed stitch details on the ruffles. Beautiful work!
Your daughter is beautiful, and so is the new cardi! The ruffles are so great! When I was a girl I measured the coolness of a garment by its ruffles~I was very girly! (still am!) *adorable*
Oh, that is SO CUTE! It fits her perfectly, too. Love it!
Hi ! Your daugther looks great in her new cardi ! I like the ruffles edge especially. Great work !
Your Mini looks absolutely fab in her new cardi! Those ruffles look great - she already knows how to wear them well! :) One project down, just a few more to go!
Oh, that smile! And the sweater looks great.
So cute! I love the colours and I guess your mini adores them, too. I am looking forward to seeing what you are going to knit for her next.
These Miss Bea's pattern are so nice.
Your daughter and sweater are beautiful. Good job.
Your daughter is adorable! She really looks like you. The sweater is faboo!
Your daughter is beautiful! And what a wonderful cardigan...love the ruffles :)
Very cute sweater! I love you choice of colors, and they look great. I think the ruffles look fine as you did them. :)
Great cardigan - wouldn't mind a grown-up version of that!
Another great job! Your mini looks beautiful in it.
Love it! I just can't make up my mind which Miss Bea to knit first for Wee C -- and I only have two of the books!
Delightful modelling of a fantastic super ruffly cardigan by your beautiful daughter.Lovely colours.Great ruffles.Perfect fit.
Fab ! :0)
Great cardie! I really, really like the ruffle detail. Few can pull it off right, but your daughter sure can! Like I've said before, thanks to her mom, she's one stylish girl!
All of the photos are cute, but that last one kills me! The sweater is darling.
Froggy, I'll have to be honest. If the cardi were in a cute contest with your little girl, your little girl would take the prize, HANDS DOWN.
Lovely knit, too-adorable-for-words child :-)
Oh, that Miss Bea! She is so wonderful, and Miss Mini looks fabulously happy in it....
