I made my sweater in sage = it is beautiful. I admired the pattern for a long time and when it came down to a KAL, I decided that it meant I was to finally make it. I must have ripped back the back at least five times before I got it right, but after those attempts, things went smoothly, if a bit slow, due to Christmas knitting projects, but it was worth the wait. I have so enjoyed it - can't wait for the next project. As an aside, I have just about one third of the Tree of Life afghan finished. Your Wool Ease yarn has got me knitting in wool, for the first time and now I can regret how many years I have used synthetic yarns. Again, a huge thank you for this KAL and on to the next project.

I just bought this pattern, through download. Can I knit this completely on circular needles? Sorry, didn't follow the whole chain. And, I see that there may have been corrections to the original pattern. If I downloaded this today, do I have all the corrections? Thanks, Ida I have been on multiple business trips since December, and am just getting “on the ball!” I just bought this pattern, through download.

I am a bit slower than most of you, as I am trying to finish Christmas gifts as well. I am enjoying the pattern; it is a challenge and is a welcomed change from scarves and mittens. I haven't knitted a sweater in a long while. This is intended for me. I hope to catch up with all of you after the Holidays. I was glad when the cable luxe sweater was announced as the kal.

Yikes-I've only just completed the yoke and now I need to block it. One question-does this pattern run true to size or is it generous? It's so hard to tell just by reading the measurements on the pattern. I'd like to hear what others think before I continue on. Thanks! Connie-You make me feel very far behind!

The yolk edge where you pick up stitches would be above the breast area. If you go towards the arms on almost every garment, you will be able to see this- follow the seamline to the underarm. (If you start knitting in the round immediately your garment wont work. Am I making sense here?
