I've looked at this pattern, and can't really see a reason not to do it. Reasons to do it: 1- the stripes will "match up" front and back. 2 - no seaming!!!! 3...
If you read back in the messages, you'll find some people who did this. The only possible drawbacks are that your body stripes will come out more narrow than...
I agree...there's no real reason not to do it...and if you have reasons to do it, go for it! I think we should be allowed to do whatever we want when we knit...
I also did my arms in the round until the garter stitches then knit back and forth for the rest. SO much less finishing! Tracy ... reasons to do it, go for...
Tracy, so you did the body in the round? How did it come out? I really like the idea but I have had things get stretchy and didn't like it. Thanks! Tanya ......
I finally finished and it's gorgeous, but too small anyone know how to add at seams or do you think wedge shaped black strips added at each underarm would be...
Do you have any yarn left? I was going to suggest adding yarn in between the seams if you can...and a black stripe down the center of it may not look that...
Hi, I just joined because I am interested in making Klaralund but the measurements given won't fit me. How hard is it to alter the pattern? I am a fairly...
Hi Laura, Which way are you adjusting? There is a much wider range of sizes given in the errata for the pattern...have you seen it yet? The popularity of the...
Thank you for the revised info Roxanne. I will need to adjust the width but the lengths are fine. I need to get the chest to be 52" at the bust. And hopefully...
Laura, That's the size I need too. Here are the calculations I came up with by moving up by the same amount as the previous size: KLARALUND - REVISEDFINISHED...
same here, i finished the knitting and sewed half of the darn thing together - how dare she be too tight when she is so gorgeous? i blocked quite heavily, so...
I don't know about knit, but still need to seam mine! The weather just wasn't cold enough until now.

same here, although the weather has been cold enough. sorry there's no one to knit along with you. still fire away with your questions, i'm sure there's still...
Can anyone think of a reason for not starting the sleeves from the top and knitting toward the wrist? I think it would be easier to control the length that...
I made the sleeves narrower, because I liked the bell shape but not too much. increased a bit at the top end because I didn't want them too tight around my...
I am going to be starting my Klaralund in Noro #146 - which has Gray, lavender, peach, rust and dark blue in it. I probably won't be starting it until after I...
I've finished the first skein and I'm about half way up the back or front (not sure yet which it will be). I decreased twice at the hips and then increased...
Wow, you are really going to town on that thing!!!! Chelle _____ From: Klaralund@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Klaralund@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of lowly Sent:...
klara is done! she was a fast knit but i guess i wanted to wait for the snow to fall to sew her up. wearing her as we speak, she is comfy and warm! really bad...
