How do I join? <em>Zontee says: Hi Linda, as it says above, there's no official "joining" in a knit-along or crochet-along. Also, that pattern was free for a period several months ago for that crochet-along and is no longer available for free (it is on sale for $3.95), but we are currently working on the knit Textured Circle Shrug.</em> I want to make the moderne jacket and get the pattern free.

My yarn and supplies arrived today and I can hardly wait to get started on that beautiful cabled sweater. I am still undecided about what size to make it. The 1x seems too little, and the 2x too big but would hate to work that hard for one that would be too small. Ahem. I will be checking back a I know I will need lots of advice before I am finished. Just charge it up to "Senior Moments" since I am 80. From Nebraska Hi everyone. My yarn and supplies arrived today and I can hardly wait to get started on that beautiful cabled sweater.

And row 3 is the 3/3 LC. Hope that helps. Linda, as I understand it, row 1,5 and 7 is knit the 6 of the cable pattern, the rest of the row is the p2, sl 1, p2; between each knit 6.

Have the cable yoke done, and have started on the back...this is where I don't understand part of the pattern and need help. At, "shape armholes". the last line of instructions about Work even in pattern as established until Row 2 of 2ns rep of Center Cable has been worked.??? What row is that? Help, I'm addicted to this, and want to keep knitting! Thanks <em>Heather says: "Hi, Janey: The instructions are saying that you need to do one repeat of the center cable pattern (12 rows) then work 2 more rows of the pattern (finish row 2 of the center cable pattern).

As soon as I found out about the KAL I jumped right in. It took me about 3 weeks to complete it. I knitted the border directly to the main section, doubling up at the corners. Luckily the pattern repeat ended just right at the end. I entered it in the local county fair and received a Reserve Champion ribbon! I gave it to a great college student whom I taught to knit while she was in 4-H. I have the TOL sweater in the works, knitting it without any side seams and placing the trees motif in the center back. I will be starting the new KAL after my daughter voices her color choice. :-) Hi all,

I have almost 40 inches done on my yolk cable and so far love this pattern. I made the odd mistake, but I found them quite easily fixed. I almost remember the pattern, so its challenging enough knitting, without being frustrating. I can get through the 16 rows in about 15 min so its great to be able to knit a pattern at times that I normally wouldnt have enough time.
