I finished a sweater for my brother.. nothing special... that flame sweater pattern from S&B Nation, but just in black and blue acrylic. Glad It's done. Did a P and W on the sleeve in (poorly executed) reverse purl for his first and second initials/childhood nickname ( Read more... )

I'm dying to see your finished sweater. What colour are you doing it in? I want to make one, too.

I am using the 8020 colour from this link.

I didm't realize there were so many colours!

grey/brown undyed 'ecological' peruvian wool.
it was cheap at the loop..last 2 skeins and that never happens.

don't wait til it is FINISHED. Gang put with me and watch it happen!

Does that yarn actually knit to gauge? I used it over the holidays for some projects, and it is cheap and so soft! Oh, boy... I feel excited.

I would like to gang put sometime soon. Howzabout Monday evening? I can host!

oh i have (HOPEFULLY) done my first real gauge math to adjust for this.
6.5mm st stich

I knit 15 st/4 nches or 3.5st/inch
pattern called for 13 stiches/4 inches or 3.25st/inch.

errr... I'mma make it in large instead of medium and hope it works.
does that sounds right? any one?

email me at my gmail to make plans. tuesday seems to work better for me, but could make monday if my friend Jen decides to NOT cook me dinner.
