Thank you ever so much, I really enjoyed reading about mistakes and how to fix ! Wow, wished I had a V-8, I am doing my Granddaughter a sweater for her b-day and this fall she will be wearing it, but wanted you to know that now I know what to do, as I can not tell you how many times that I’ve RIPPPPED out stitches and if I had known how easy your way was., that sweater would have been done last year, Now all my grandkids will have a sweater Thanks

Hi! This is Babette! I am working on my gauge block and I bought all my materials today! I bought the “nature’s brown” color because they didnt have the same die lot in Oatmeal in 3 skeins. Does it take all 3 skeins for the sweater in the smaller size? Also, if I want my sweater to be slightly smaller than the 40″ would I use a smaller needle after I obtain my gauge? Thanks for all your help!! Esp since Im soooo late in coming in on this!
Blessings

hi! I just found this and am IMMEDIATELY going to get my yarn for this KAL!! Im sorry Im starting so late but I just LOVE this!! One question I have and “YES” you will be able to tell I am new is how will we sew the shoulders & arms in where they wont look too bulky! Im sooo glad I found you all! I have 3 sweaters KNITTED that are just sitting there ready to be put together but I know NO ONE who knits & every time I go to put them together they look really bad because they are toooooo bulky or just awful! And I really want to wear them! ANd after I get caught up with y’all and finish this one I will DEFINATELY want to finish this one and Im really worried that I wont be able to put those shoulders together!!! HELLLPPPPP PLEASE!!!

I’m sure the front and back are the same length – I’m wondering if the finished sweater will be long enough. I prefer my sweaters to end around the widest part of my hip halfway down my butt.

I did get the shoulders sewed together (so now I have a vest!) and it seems like it’ll be long enough. I’m just concerned with how much of the length will go away when I stretch it to do the side seams.

Heather says: “Hi, Anna: The front and the back are the same length. What you can do to see the actual length is to dampen your pieces (I do it with a spray bottle) then lay flat and let dry. This will ease those cables. Then you can measure the length or compare it to a sweater you already knows fits you well. The nice thing about this sweater is that there is no armhole shaping, so if you wanted to add more length you can easily do that before the neck shapings!”

Anna, what I did was lay the back section on the counter, and then layed the front on top of it to compare the lenght of the two. That worked for me……..

So I’ve finished the front and the back of my sweater (and was smart enough to run a life line in the front before starting the neck shaping!) and I’m wondering if I’ve made it long enough. I had my hubby help me hold up the back and he pointed to where it hung, but I’m not sure how much of the length will get sucked up when I stretch it sideways to seam with the front?

Thanks for the congrats everybody. I did get to wear it today because it was cooler than I thought. I tried it on to take some pictures and it felt better than the sweatshirt I had on so the sweater stayed on instead. I know ya’ll will love yours and what a great gift this would make. Happy knitting everybody.
