Left & Right switched?

OK, is it just me or are the photos flipped? In the photos the cable panel is on the model's right side, but in the instructions it's on the left. I e-mailed IK about this, after seriously looking from my right hand to my left hand to the photo about a million times just to be sure I wasn't going crazy. I'm knitting it to look like the photos, so I had to switch the placement of the decreases on the left (stripey) front that I'm knitting now.

Or am I JUST LOSING MY MIND? Could be.

Row 7 Tute

Ok guys and gals, I put this together in case anyone out there is still stuck on Row 7. It's deceptively simple. I hope this is clear! Just click the photo to go to the tutorial on flickr.



Now let's just hope I'm doing it right! :)

Have to rip :(

Well, there I was braggin' about being done with the back and it turns out I need to rip it out and go up a size. My gauge is such with my replacement yarn that I need to knit the 41" size to get a 35" sweater. Oh well! Luckily I did figure this out before starting my first front, so I do have a teeny, tiny bit of headway into the correct size. I haven't done much knitting lately because of school and other junk, but I'm going to start focusing on this now that I've figured it out.

How's everyone else's coming along?

Yarn Selection

Hi everyone! I'm so glad there's a knitalong for this pattern, so that when I start, I'll be encouraged to finish ;)

I can't wait to dig into this pattern; it will be my first non-top-down-raglan sweater, and I'm pretty excited about that. I'm just waiting on my yarn to come in! I got a bunch of Rowan Calmer in Cork off of eBay, and it should be here in a couple of days. I subbed this yarn because I saw someone else mention it as a sub, I think on Knitter's Review, and I loved that idea. I'm hoping this will be the perfect cardigan for cool days (and my sometimes cold office).

You can read more about my knitting projects over at my blog, Woolly Interlude.

crap!

Um Deb here,

The lace pattern is driving me bonkers! I started my sleeve...I mean, swatch, and I was cruising along, until it came to the last row of the lace pattern. Huh?? I am having a hard time picking that strand from the row below, and not making it all look like crap. I did my best, and ended up frogging it all back to the ribbing because it looked like crap!

Does anyone know the name to this lace pattern, so I maybe can find it in a reference book, or online? Worse case scenario, I can always sub for another lace pattern, right?

BTW...the cotton fleece seems like a good choice. It is still sproingy like wool, but it is a lightweight cotton feeling.

Intro

Hello, I'm Mary and I'm signing up for the Knit Along, maybe prematurely, since I'm still working out what yarn to use.

I was thinking CottonEase, but I only chose it because I'm having a hard time getting my hands on any Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece.

I'm swatching the CottonEase right now, and if I don't like how it comes out, I might switch. I know that puts me way behind you guys, but I really want to make this sweater come out perfectly. Glad to find you guys!

ready to swatch

I don't want to wait any longer for the Soft Linen yarn to become available, even though it sounds like I will really like the yarn. Instead, I'm going to swatch with Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. I'm thinking it will work out, or at least close enough that I can get away with it.
