Very random thoughts on the Pullover
Hi! Last post before we take off, early tomorrow morning. Whee! Je parle un 'tit peu Français et mon mari parle quelque Castilian/Espagnol. Donc, je pense nous serons beaucoup sur notre voyage! Au revoir!
Random thought #1: I didn't do short rows, because I was feeling particularly lazy. I've included it in the pattern, though. Instead, I knit a few more rows after all the shaping. Looks okay, I think. The back of the neck is still high enough.
Random thought #2: Have enough yarn. Calculate how much you need, and add 1-2 more skeins. As I said before, the yoke eats up yarn! I may have to use another dye lot to finish the sleeves. Oh well.
Random thought #3: Don't be limited to using the weight of the yarn called for. I used a heavier worsted, which in turn creates a slightly larger garment, but I may knit another in DK or sportweight. Use the mods to make it your own. I worked hard on those charts, baby.
Random thought #4: Add a higher neck, like the original Craftster poster's, or use a different opening/sleeve/hem treatment. Roll necks are nice, but how about garter stitch, or seed stitch?
Lastly. If you commented or emailed about the pattern before the 15th, I will have sent the pattern to you. If you'd like to have the pattern and chart, please email me, put it in your queue for now and I'll send it once we get back. Apologies--I'm kind of frazzled and in a hurry! Byeee!!!
Have a FANTASTIC time!
I'd like the pattern and chart too :) And have a spectacular time!!
Oo! oo! oo! It's looking great. You're slowly sucking me into (or inspiring?) making this. It looks so good. After I finish Rogue and Central Park, it's going high on the queue, baby.
The sweater is just gorgeous! Have fun!!
Au revoir!
I hope you have a great time!
And, um, could I please have the pattern, too? I just love that sweater!
I love it! Pattern, color, everything.
Have a great time!
Have a safe trip! Have lots of fun!!
The sweater looks great, and it's been fun reading your entries on construction, etc. I would love to receive your notes on the pattern when' you're back. In th meantime, have a super fabulous trip!

beautiful sweater!
gorgeous!
looks fantastic! have a great time!
SO so so so beautiful.
J'espère que ton voyage a été agréable !
And i'd love to have the pattern... Thanks
This is simply gorgeous. I love your version so much more than the roomier one. I loved your little tale of how you were in the zone and knitted through the night. We can all relate. Please send me you decoded instructions for this sweater. :)
wow, it's turning out fantastic! i'd love to have the pattern translation when you get back. I know what a challenge that can be - I translated a few phildar patterns that i had bought without the english versions - do you have a copy of the book Knitting Languages? That helped me a lot, and has like 8 different languages in it. Have a wonderful time in France and Spain - can't wait to read all about it when you return.
Hello,
I've just found your site and the cabled sweater is gorgeous! Please do send me your instructions and chart. Many thanks.
I would love the pattern in chart. I am in the middle of hell week of my last fall semester in college, so know that I am extremely jealous of your journey and am praying that you blog profusely about it when you return... so I can live vicariously through you of course.
