I’m almost done the armhole shaping on the back and I’m loving the Amazing yarn. It is knitting up really quick too, I’ve never made so much progress on a sweater in so little time (I just started last weekend). I’m actually using a different pattern from the LionBrand site (Shapely Stripes) since the sizing works better for my tiny mother, but I’m adding a few inches to the bottom since she likes her sweaters long. I was a little disappointed that I won’t get to do the shawl collar, but I’m enjoying following along and hearing everyone’s tips and tricks to making these. Since I got the yarn when it was on a great sale at Joann’s I picked up extra in 2 different colorways so I could make another sweater for myself as well as an entrelac scarf when I’m done. So glad I bought the extra because I love this yarn and it would be too sad to have to give it all away.

2.5 inches less then start the neck shaping, so 13.5 inches in your case.

Hi Ann. I use a crochet hook rather than my knitting needle to to pick up the new stitches and simply slide a group of stitches off the crochet hook onto my knitting needle to proceed with my knitting. I find the hook much easier to pick up the yarn than a knitting needle:)

Hi Kimberly. I just received my Amazing yarn in Acadia yesterday. I did my swatch and started the back last night. I am glad I spludged for the Amazing yarn. It makes the stocking stitch more interesting as I see the beautiful colours combinations work up. If you have made baby sweaters you will have no problem making a sweater for yourself…same concepts in a larger version. Good luck:)

I, too wished i had ‘splurged’ and used the amazing yarn! Near me in IL the yarn is on sale at Michaels arts and crafts for $5 a skein instead of 8! Which is great but seeing as i have two projects going at the present, my husband did not feel it necessary to make the plunge and purchase the yarn (which still would have been more than $50). Hmmm, maybe I will get it for a scarf or cowl after these current projects are done!

I knitted my back to 16″. When I knit the front how far should I go before I start the neck shaping.
