matchy, matchy I give you pop sleeve and body, with matching stripes.
Well, the stripes match when it's lying on the floor at least. I can't be sure that it will exactly line up when I'm wearing it. So I'll be sewing up the pieces I have and trying it on before I get too far with the next sleeve. Better safe than froggy. posted by alison at 8:51 am | in

i totally don't understand how on earth you get them to match in the first place. so awesome to run into you at rhinebeck lady i had no idea you were going. wish i would have met the boys. silvia and i spotted you with them far away at the bouncy slide but we couldn't come over because we both wanted to go on that thing SO BAD that getting that close to it would have been dangerous!

Posted by: Jackie at October 27, 2004 9:30 AMI'm so impressed with your resolve to get this sweater 'right'. I hope it works out for you with a minimum of additional fussing. It's going to look great on you when it's done. Posted by: michelle at October 27, 2004 10:09 AMDon't wear that gorgeous thing on your next NYC trip. Either Jenn or I would be compelled to try to steal it. LOVE those colors together. Posted by: Cari at October 27, 2004 10:30 AMthose colors are just fab. i really have to put more color in my knits. and gotta get with the stripes too. you have worked wonders with them. Posted by: froggy at October 27, 2004 10:44 AMThat sweater has such pretty colors. I can't wait to see it done. Posted by: Eilene at October 27, 2004 10:51 AMI have to admit, I can't wait to see this one on myself! And of course when I say 'better safe than froggy', I don't mean you Froggy! ;0) Posted by: alison at October 27, 2004 11:04 AMLooks like it will be beautiful! And perfectly knit, too. :) Posted by: Jackie at October 27, 2004 11:45 AMGreat colors! That is going to be SO MUCH FUN to wear. Posted by: Jackie at October 27, 2004 12:04 PMWow! Great colors. You'll make it work perfectly...we know you! Posted by: margene at October 27, 2004 12:06 PMI am deeply impressed by the matching of the stripes, and the dedication to getting it right! Posted by: jo at October 27, 2004 6:24 PMME TOO! Terrific colors... I'm a perfectionist (not just knitting) and sometimes it pays off, and sometimes it just makes me crazier. Is this an original pattern? Will you do the neck on circulars to maintain color/stripe alignment? |
