Hello there! I have just joined you, and have just begun working on the sweater. The yarn I'm using is Caron's Simply Soft in the grey heather color. I'm...
would you be able to help me out and figure out how to do it in one piece - at least the front panels and back as one piece? im really trying to get my other...
Jennifer, I would be happy to work with you on figuring out how to the back/front panels in one piece. That is actually the easy part, all you need to do is...

I have about 4 inches of the cable band done and I can tell you, I'm not quick at this! I'm hoping that I will get faster at it as I get the pattern down. ...
Hi Bev, I knitted an extended cable band for my neck (doing a few tweaks to the pattern as well!) and I swear it took just as long as doing the cable plus...
hello everyone last weekend i posted that i was going to start my arwen this ( last) weekend. i didnt. I lied. I did start and frogged it, i did the cables...
Hey Jennee, I'm with you! I didbn't start my Arwen as mentioned last week either. I'm a little hesitant about the short rows and I'm working on a baby...
I'm right there with you. I have about 1" of the bottom hem done and can't seem to get back to it. I'm also working on birthday and Christmas gifts, new baby...
Linda, I feel the same way! I'm new at sweater knitting and with working on the cables, that require a great deal of work, I have the same fear about sizing....
You didn't lie, Jennee. You started it last weekend, and now you get to start it again this weekend. I had to frog a wee bit this week, too. I'm feeling good...

Ever since this knitalong started, I've been undecided about my yarn choice. I knew I didn't want it to be all wool, because I wanted something I could wear...
I also spent a lot of time deciding what yarn to use. My first choice didn't work well. I decided to use Aurora 8 and have about an inch of the fronts/back...
Great modifications and I can't wait to see your progress. I'm a little squeamish about the short rows so I am going to work on a baby sweater that requires ...
Something to try... instead of casting on for the cable panel at the end of the row of the front, how about this. Knit the hem line, then break the yarn, cast...
