I've been slow getting started on Arwen. First, I waited 3 weeks for my yarn to be delivered. Now I'm working on gauge. Since I have never been happy with...
Hello Everyone, Linda, I can feel your pain! I swatched with some of the Lamb's Pride Superwash I bought at a yarn shop sale, but it looked way too loopy and...
Anna, I'm so glad you pointed out that you cast on with the smaller needle and switch to the larger needle for the body. I thought it was the other way...
I'm using pale green Mission Falls 1824 yarn and I'm getting gauge using #9 needles (I'm a very tight knitter). This yarn is thick and luscious to work with,...
WOW, we're exact opposites! I had to drop down to a size 7 as my largest size needle because I was a little too loose with size 8 needles. I can't wait to see...
Hi Nicole, I rounded the tip of my hood - just before the end, I did some slip1-k2tog-psso (double decrease) in the middle of my hood. Note - the hood was...
That's a very cute version of the sweater! That white really sets off the cabling. :-D Beautiful work. Anna http://annasyarnmansion.typepad.com ... From:...
Hi Carrie, thanks for your comment I'm also planning to do the hood in one piece, even if this means I have to rip back the hood-part of the left front....I...
Well, except for the cast on for the hood... Yesterday, I finally cast on for the second front of the sweater! Then I had to restart 3 times because I kept...
Hi Nicole, I love doing kid's clothing because the reward is just so much faster! "Miles" of stockinette can't really happen in a garment that's less than a ...
Congrats, Gena! What type of yarn are you knitting your's out of? I'm using Mission Falls 1824 Wool in #025. I just cast on for the left front the other night...
Hello all! I just joined the KAL, glad to see there are plenty of you out there in love with this pattern. I'm currently working on the left front (finished...
Last night, I finished the final touches on the knitted gifts I am bringing to my in-laws in China. That means, I have finally been able to swatch and then...
hello i just recieved my Interweave winter mag. The whole reason I orderd this magazine was for the arwen jacket.! Im so glad to find a group on yahoo that...
... I'm so jealous, that would be my favourite combination of TV- Shows...but here in Germany it's Desperate Housewife followed by Grey's Anatomy at the...
Hi there I'm finished sewing up most of my Arwen Sweater and considering that I did Matress stitches for the first time I'm quite satisfied (of course there...
Hi Nicole, I would probably go with a smoother, thinner yarn instead of your bulky cotton. I tend to use a different yarn whenever the yarn is slubby or thick...
Hi Everyone! I just ordered my yarn to start this project. I chose the same yarn - Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in Light Blue. I was a little hesitant at the...
I got my yarn today. The Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran is beautiful. I was worried about the light blue being too baby pastel-ish, but it's not. It's very...
That's great! I know what it's like to try and get out of your color comfort zone. I'm glad you found something that will work for you! And I agree about the...
I've seen instructiosn on widening the sleeves by adding more short rows - I've done that, but I missed the part about knitting fewer stitches between the...
Raquel, I was the one who wrote the post about widening the sleeves. I suggested shortening the length between each short row so you added more width to the...
I finished the last bit of the hood tonight, and gave it a good steam blocking! Tomorrow I will be spending all night seaming it up, and probably re-doing the...
I also had to increase the sleeve width - and I also did it by increasing the short rows. What I did was keep track of every thing that I had done, so that...
Hi there. I'm totally late to join this knit-along, but I just love the pattern. I've read through the archives and really appreciate all the good advice. ...
I have just started Arwen and am working on the back right now. I am using DB Cashmerino Aran. I have been carrying around my knitting in my bag, back and...
I finally finished up mine yesterday. Phew! If you're interested, you can see some pictures and info on my blog <http://knittinmama.blogspot.com/> . A big...
