Hi all, I'm cobbling together skeins of colorway 84 and have 9 of the 10 that I need. But now I've come to an impasse, and thought I'd turn to you for help. ...
HI, After lurking for awhile I got infected with this Klaralund bug. I got the book from Kangaroo and the yarn (the same color as in the book, #8) is in my...
I've been really happy with my open neck. My Klaralund fits loosely, and I always wear a shirt under it ... but what about possible cleavage issues if you...
Hi Megan, I have colorway #84. However, I'm at work. I can check the dyelot when I get home and let you know. If it's a match, it's all yours. Lynette...
Hi Marian, The only adjustment I made was to not sew up the lower garter stitch hem. I liked Jennifer's idea, but mine's not as elaborate. I only wear a bra...
My yarn came. Ten beautiful skeins of Kureyon 150. I'm still waiting on my pattern book to arrive from Knit2Purl2.com. Would it be okay if some one posted...
Hi Amanda, I had to dig out my book: the gauge is 16 sts/22 rows = 4" in St st. She recommends size 8. I think I started with 9's to get the correct gauge. (I...
Thanks, Lisa! My book came yesterday and when I measured my swatch that I did with 9s it was off so I'm going to swatch with 8s and see how it goes. Amanda ...
Another late blooomer. This is my hubby's xmas gift to me, the yarn and the book. It came last week - SG color #213 and I am having a hard time keeping my...
Mine is coming out about actual circumference. Also, be sure and check out the errata page. I think it is posted in the files section of the yahoo group. I'm...
Hello! I just discovered this Yahoo group, and since I tend to do a lot of research before starting new knitting projects, it was your collection of beautiful...
I've finished both body pieces and one sleeve, and am halfway done on the other sleeve. Right now the body pieces are drying after blocking. I hope to have...
Erin, I agree with Elizabeth, it knits pretty true to size. Sounds like you will want to knit either the med or large. Just watch your gauge and keep...
Yesterday I spent about 4 hours on trains between Philadelphia and NYC. It was a great time to work on my last sleeve of Klaralund. And wouldn't you know it,...
I'd love to know the answer to this too. I have been done with the knitting forever and procrastinating the seaming - I hate seaming! - but it's time to finish...
Sounds like everyone will be wearing their Klaralunds soon. About Seaming: Yes, the invisible or mattress stitch is the way to go. The sleeves and the body...
OK, I have a confession to make. I finished everything and sewed the body's side seams. But now I'm trying to finish Xmas gifts, and I hate seaming so much,...
Thank you to both. I was afraid mine would languish too. My expert seamstress/knitting guru is in Lebanon, NH. She's in her mid-80s and looks mid-60s and...
Yay! I finished all my obligation projects, so I swatched and cast on last night. Using #213 color, and with just 20 rows of the back (or front) done I'm in...
Maybe it's just that time of the month, but I feel a little let down with my Klara. The sleeves are a bit too big and long, but the waist is a wee bit tight (I...
Hi Vicky. Yup, I washed my Klara in the washing machine. It really didn't shrink much--in retrospect I'm not even sure it lost 5%. Most of that was in row...
... One other thing. Jenifer (http://knittingat5337.blogdrive.com) thought up the idea of seaming the sweater so that the bottom garter section (8 ridges)...
Thanks, Cate, for your suggestions! I'm working on the digital image. You know, I'm wearing my sweater today and the waist has already stretched out a bit. So...
Congratulations to all who've finished their Klaras. Mine was done 6 weeks ago and I started wearing it immediately, every chance I have. I'd originally...
Uh, Vicky, this isn't going to be the most popular suggestion, but if you REALLY want to be satisfied with you sweater. . . take it apart, set aside the body,...
Thanks, Lisa. I stopped in a yarn shop yesterday (with it on) and was given the same advice. My groan could be heard through the whole store :-). I'm going to...
Lisa-- My sleeves were too long, and I refused to consider unraveling them. Instead, I threaded a super thin needle above where I would want the garter stitch...
