We knew that we had a hit when Maureen asked her granddaughter to act as our model for the Pansy Cardi, and Diana agreed only if she could keep the sweater. Maureen realized she had more work to do when Diana’s Mother asked for an adult sized version of the pattern for herself.  We love the idea of a family sporting a garden full of these glorious, knitted blooms.
