Perhaps she'll be a NOVA employee when she grows up. I made a little change, turning the dot into a smiley face. The cardigan is plain raglan and I made it more feminine by adding a pink trim around all of the ribbed sections. I created a knitting graph for the back:
I did this in Excel for a specific reason. I've got a very comfortable chair in front of my computer at home and it's one of my favorite places to knit. I had the spreadsheet up on my monitor and when I finished a row I would then hide that row, working my way up from rows 1 to 54, like this:
When I was finished the intarsia design, I unhid the rows and the pattern was back in its entirety.
The buttons are a very pale white, almost transparent, with white flower design:

A rather dark picture. The sweater is actually a very nice, clean off-white shade. |

I don't know why the blue color is so neon as shown here. In the photograph that I uploaded it is not. The blue is actually a medium baby blue as on the graph. |
