That is a lovely pattern. I love the bell sleeves.
posted by Elizabeth on february 25, 2005Do a search for errata for that pattern (and all others in that book). I know that there are some changes. I've also heard that the neckline is REALLY wide and some people have altered it.
Something to be aware of, I don't want you to have to rip AGAIN!
posted by Johanna on february 25, 2005I, too, admired the same sweater when glancing through the L.M.G. book and thought it would be flattering and timeless. Can hardly wait to see the finished project (which will not be a quick knit w/all the frogging you are doing to re-use the cashmere - such ambition!
posted by leslie on february 25, 2005Oh yeah! Such an Alison sweater! Perfect for you!
posted by Dava on february 25, 2005Thanks, Johanna. The knitalong gals have been working on this sweater for months, so there's lots of helpful info over on their knitalong page about the corrections, the yarn amounts (might be too low), and neckline adjustments. Sometimes it really pays to join a knitalong late! ;0)
posted by alison on february 25, 2005Ditto what Johanna said about LMKG. To paraphrase Lisa B., it's last minute in more ways than one.
posted by Colleen on february 25, 2005Looking forward to seeing your results. I have some Cash Iroha that thinks it might want to grow up and be that sweater someday!
posted by Theresa on february 25, 2005Very cool... I've posted some pictures of my fix-it progress too... I'm afraid I'm heading down the road toward another fix :(
posted by Bethany on february 25, 2005Hourglass is going to look great in that yarn and color!
posted by Vicki on february 25, 2005I saw that pattern on little miss messy hair's blog and loved it! Can't wait for more of your progress so I can see the FO.
posted by LeAnne on february 25, 2005ooh! I was just contemplating this sweater yesterday.. very pretty! I think the photo of the sweater/model/setting in this book is so pretty. Makes me long for sunny summer days.
posted by liz on february 25, 2005I have had my eyes on this sweater too... yet, I have not picked up the book. The cashmere sounds so lush!
Have a great weekend!
posted by Lolly on february 25, 2005Great sweater! It's going to be so nice to wear in cashmere!
posted by jo on february 25, 2005It's a great pattern. I really enjoyed knitting mine, but the neckline is quite wide. However, it's easy enough to add a few extra rows. It should be lovely in the cashmere.
