I just wanted to give an update :) I have finished the back and done 2 full repeats of the cable pattern on the left front. So far I really like it because...
I'm at about the same place! This is such a fast knit, I got the back done in just a few days, and am speeding right through the first front half. Love it so...
read about my tale of arwen woe on my blog www.spinningmylifeaway.blogspot.com but never fear, it's back on the needles, only this time bottom up for my dd. ...
Hi all: I'm getting ready to order my Arwen yarn from Knitpicks, and I see that in this group's lists of suggested or used yarns, Andean Silk isn't there. It...
Hi y'all, I was sifting through the stash this weekend looking for some suitable yarn to work this pattern in. I am glad I found a knit-a-long. After reading...
I haven't even started yet, I'm still waiting on my yarn! I'm comforted by the fact that although many people have almost finished, it seems, there's quite a...
Don't feel bad, I haven't started yet either, but I had a change of heart about the yarn I was using, and I am making myself use it first before buying more...
Hi, I've got about 12 inches done on the back too. Between moving, traveling for business and other stuff it's been a challenge to move faster. I'm in the...
just a hood note. instead of working row 6, only complete row 5, then slip the cable stitches and cross the cable stitches on one side of the hood only. the...
I just got my wool - only one (big, 200g) ball because I'm not sure about the gauge. So swatching for me! But after I swatch and work out the gauge, I have...
I started the left front and the cables just aren't agreeing with me. First, I read the chart wrong and had to rip out about 3 inches. Then I dropped a stitch...
I've done the same thing. Messed up the hem part, and then I wasn't paying enough attention, when doing the cables, so it looks way worse than it should....
Maybe I'm the last who makes her post here... yesterday I've got my Yarn (Merino+ superwash from Lang Yarns), a really dark blue color. And I will do some...
I had the same problem! I somehow completly messed up the chart and wound up with some strange garter stitch looking mess instead of cables. I ripped it back...
Wow! Your mods sound great. I really like the motif you're adding to the back. I kept knitting the back and wishing it had something to make it more...
So I've decided that I've changed Cardigan for Arwen too much to keep calling it that. Baby Arwen was cute, but then I decided that the cable was just too...
Hi all, I just finished the back yesterday and started on the left front. In terms of reading the chart for the cable pattern, it should should be read left...
I decided to throw all caution to the wind, not to mention all the Christmas knitting, and finally start on Arwen. I'm using stash yarn-- Rowan Magpie in a...
Hi Everyone! Although I do consider myself an experienced knitter, I have never made a garment before - plenty of throws, scarfs, shawls, etc lace and cables ...

Hi! In looking over the old posts, I saw that Celeste is using Lion Brand Wool-Ease for her sweater. I just finished making a hat for DD with that stuff and...
Hi all, I wonder if cotton yarn would work for this design. I have in my stash some lovely cotton "Mandarin soft" from Sandnes yarn of Norway. It is ...
Hi Vita, Have you checked the weight of the balls of yarn to determine how heavy the overall garment would be? If you're doing the length as directed it might...
Hi Jody, Thank you so much for the answer. I calculated the overall weight of the garment and it would be only 50 gr. heavier then if it was knitted in the...
Oh good -- 50 gr is not that much more! Regarding sleeve length, I'm thinking this could be a little more fussy because the sleeves are knit with the body. So...
Hi all, I finally got my magazine and will be getting started shortly. I was just wondering if it was difficult to lengthen the sleeves. As the sleeve has the ...
Hi Jody, Thanks again for your answer. There is a lot to think about sleeves.. I have a question regarding the needles. The pattern calls to use straight...
Yes, it can be knit on circulars. The pattern states straights because it is knit flat (not in the round). Circulars aren't necessary. I'm with you though --...
