Treasured Companion

Have I mentioned what a remarkable little creature my Madeline is?  I have been having the best time with her.  Such a lovely little doll.  She charms everyone who meets her.  In the last few weeks she's been getting a little shaggy around the edges.  There's a horrible dog flu epidemic here in Chicago, and I am reluctant to expose her by taking her in for a grooming.  Her groomers are lovely, and I think they must be suffering dreadfully as this flu rages on.
I knit this gradient sweater for her a few months ago.  A lighter weight wool, perfect for transitional weather.
