Second Sleeve Begun, Gifts Given

I'm about 6 inches into the second sleeve on Rosedale. Happily, the color seems to match the first one pretty well.

I was able to see my friend's daughters open their holiday gifts today. Her two year old seemed to like her stuffed kitty. She squealed when she opened it and gave it a big hug. Her five year old opened her backpack, screamed, "Hello Kittttty!" And immediately unzipped it, took out the stuffing and put it on. She was still wearing it an hour later when I left so I guess it was a hit. Looking at it again, in person, I have to say, it came out really well. Much better than I expected.
