Sexy. Sleek. Sophisticated. And that’s just my beautiful sister, Isy, who was kind and patient enough to model while I snapped.

It's really elegant- love the long, clean lines. Your sister is the perfect model for it, too! :D

Anna, this is a really elegant, beautiful design. I wish I could wear it (these @*%$&#^ love handles).

Spotted Holly in Magknits and thought it looked like one of yours before I scrolled down and saw your name!

Really very sleek, but I think will look a ton better on twiglets like you and your sister than a buxom wench like me!

I love the long tunic shape and the simple design. Well done on another fabulous design and pattern -- you almost have enough for your own book!

Yet another stunner, and in such a lovely colour too. Congratulations yet again (where do you find the time to wear all of these lovely creations?).

Hi, I love your blog - you are so talented and inspiring. Holly is beautiful, a simple design that is truly elegant and classic. I also wanted to ask you if you were planning on publishing Jemima at any point?

Posted by: Cheryl at November 2, 2005 02:31 PM

Oh, it's days like this when I really wish I were tall and slim!! Love, love, love this - the color and style are oh so sleek and sexy. And your sister is just as lovely as you are. :-) Great job Anna.

This is beautiful, I love the color- I can't wait to try out the pattern.
