Hi Everyone! I just started a sitcom chic this week in Rowan Summer Tweed--I used it because it's in my stash (or my yarn store as my husband calls it). I do...
Hoi! First message! Yea!! :O) I've added you to the list, Lisa. I feel for you and the snow... we're not all melted yet and I'm not feeling like it's "safe"...
I saw Theresa's announcement of a knitalong on Friday - how exciting! I've wanted to join a knitalong and I've got yarn (Elann sonata in cream) and the pattern...
Hi all! So, as a bit of an introduction, I'm a senior in high school in NJ. I don't knit nearly enough to start a knitting blog, but I do have a personal blog....
I started one sleeve and got about 6 inches done on it and was getting gauge for the Sitcom Chic pattern (with sportweight yarn) but wasn't happy with the way...
Ouch - what a pain! I'm having gauge woes but of a different sort. I swatched the Elann Sonata on US 6 needles and got the row gauge just right but had only 3...
Hi all, I have swatched and reswatched my burnt orange Sonata and hope to have a winner this weekend (just got size6 addiTs in the mail). I am going for the...
Hello all. This is my first knit-a-long, and I'm very psyched. I had been planning to do this sweater for months, and have been working on it for about a week...
... Elann ... only ... Patty, you'll want to err on row gauge. The pattern tells you how many inches to knit rather than rows, so row gauge isn't critical ...
Hi and Welcome! Shall we call you Sarah? Shall I add you to my list of knitters? :O) About the cast on - I have to struggle each time I cast on in order for it...
I know exactly how you feel! I am usually very close to gauge with the needles called for in the pattern, but I must have done 4 swatches this time! I've...
I have a horrible confession--I usually ignore row gauge. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing...I've only had a problem once, and my husband ended up...
Hi Everybody! I don't want to add anyone's name to the knitalong list at Bagatell http://www.spellingtuesday.com without permission, so if your name isn't...
Thanks Lisa & Theresa for the advice re: ignoring row gauge and to everyone else for making me feel better by sharing your gauge issues! So it looks like...
Chelsea, Oh good, someone else is using Elann Sonata for this project. I'm curious about the gauge you're getting because mine came out a little small on 6s...
Thanks for the tip. Buying new needles today, and I'll give the cable cast on a try. Bigger needles too. Its definitely the "too tightness" that was getting to...
I'd been thinking about making this sweater for a whole day, and then voila I noticed Theresa's knit-along. Whoo hoo. I haven't actually started and am not...
Hi all, I am so excited to join this group! I began knitting my Sitcom last year - and still haven't finished. I don't remember where I was in the process, I...
I got tired of the tiny needles and put it aside for a few days. I've been working on a mohair shawl on size 10.5(US)--what a nice relief. However, I had to...
Welcome Mara! Ask away... I've only done the sleeves (3 of them so far 'cause of gauge issues) but I'm sure somebody'll be able to help you get started from...
I like the cotton ease a lot more than I ever thought I would. Its much more cotton-y than acrylic-y to me. Plus- size 8 needles. Beats the heck out of 3's! ...
I am very tempted to frog the Rowan and switch to Cotton Ease--and it's affordable, too. -----Original Message----- From: sarah grzeskowiak Sent: Apr 19, 2004...
I'm doing the DK weight Eyelet Cardi but it looks like I'll have to adjust for the gauge I'm getting. I'm using Elann Sonata and getting 22 sts = 3.5 inches...
hey there, after frogging my first attempt at a sweater friday), i started sitcom chic over the weekend. i happened upon this redux-along by google accident...
Ooooooo I'm totally up for more Cotton-Ease! I have enough for this Sitcom-Chic but I'm loving how Cotton-Ease knits up and it's kind of hard for me to get...
I am so glad to have found this group! I've only just started my Sitcom Chic. I am using Rowan Summer Tweed in turquoise. I'm using Addi Turbos in UK size...
I've got turquoise cotton ease and I'm swatching away - so sign me up for the knitalong. I'm going to shorten the body a couple of inches and the sleeves one...
What do you think about the summer tweed? I am seriously thinking about frogging and switching to cotton ease because I didn't get gauge until I went down to...
Sorry to respond so slowly, Patty and all--I was getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth yanked. OW! I expected to get all this knitting done while I "lazed" around...
