It's beautiful! Congratulations on your first sweater. Klara is my first too and I can't wait to finish her. gretchendshah <gretchendshah@...> wrote: ...
That is fabulous! Still has the Klaralund flavor from the construction, and the addition of lace adds a lot of flair to the solid color. Now, back to read the...
Thanks! The one thing I did that affects the fit most significantly was to narrow the sleeves at the top by an inch. That makes the seam hit above my boob,...
I think it is also the solid vs stripes that makes it a bit more flattering around the breasts. I am not sure if it is the cut or the striping..but everyone I...
So funny you should post this today and I should join the knit-a-long today! I am looking at handpaintedyarn, too, for my Klaralund. I've been looking for a...

... My mom, who I made my first Klaralund for, is rather busty. And the sweater looks *great* on her! She's pretty picky on what she wears, too, and loves...
Hi Everyone, I've done a bit more of the Klaralund body and now that the handpainted yarn is unfolding as it gets bigger, I can't help but think it feels a bit...
I've finished too!! you can see pics at nanac.blogs.com The knitting was easy peasy. Sewing it together, however, took a few tries! I love the Noro Silk Garden...
Hey all, I finally finished my Kureyon Klara! It was my first sweater and I had to reconfigure the pattern a little to upsize it to a 54" chest, I also added...
Okay, okay, after all my lurking and drooling over pix I am taking the plunge! The book is on it's way. But -- there isn't a LYS that I can visit to personally...
I started the Klaralund a week ago Saturday, and I have already finished both sleeves, and either the front or the back, depending on how the striping works...
Molly, It's gorgeous. You'll be done in no time at the rate you're going. I've been working on my Klaralund forever because, unlike you, I can't have just one...
Looks great Molly! And I love the spit splice method....I discovered it midway through my Ribby Cardi so I only have a about 4 extra ends to weave in when I'm...
... I ... thought ... Gee, I thought I used #87 but I don't think it's the same colorway as Molly's. Let me just say, Go for it! I don't know what all the fuss...
I made the Klaralund as a raglan and used the Silk garden. It's a lovely warm sweater t hat I enjoy wearing. It was my first time with SG and I hope to buy...
For Amanda and anyone else worried about seaming, Mattress stitch is actually a lot of fun. I did all my seams in Mattress with the exception of the little...
I agree! That is a great article and I'm not nearly as afraid as I was before reading it. I wonder now if I've put off completing my Klaralund b/c I'm...
