Hey, Maggi How did your weekend of knitting go? My first free evening will be spent steaming mine into shape (the centre front doesn't quite match up, eeks)...

Well, I finished a different sweater on the holiday weekend, but knit the Sitcom eyelets last night, and I'm taking it to the baseball game tonight. So THIS...
I can't speak for the rest, but, once the eyelet was done it almost knits itself! OK, maybe not. Wait until you put on the finishing touches up and down the...
I had hoped to start wearing my cardi as soon as I had woven in the last stray thread. And I did for a little while. But not in public since the centre fronts...
And I wore the sweater yesterday! Photo on my blog. I enjoyed this so much I could make it again if there weren't so many other projects calling to me as well....
So...I thought I was getting pretty close to wrapping up my CottonEase Sitcom Chic....I did the yolk detailing, continued on up the yolk shaping last evening...
Sorry about that ~ Here's the link to my blog: http://maggi.typepad.com/maggistitches. I thought that all of my emails posted that with the signature line, but...
Thanks, Maggi. Looks beautiful. I too am using the CottonEase and I love the hand and the drape, but my tension's been hit and miss...did you find the blocking...
How does the Cotton Ease do in the wash? I have not touched my sitcom chic in about a month since I was so disgusted by the finished result. It's way too big...
I really goofed & did the yoke dec 1x every 17 rows instead of every RS row for 17x. Sheesh! Now I need to rip back about 34 rows - should I pull it off the...
I'd take a close look at where the markers should be, put in a lifeline and rip it. That would be a nightmare to unknit! I can feel your pain (a little)...
I'd love to rip instead of un-knitting but how do I put in a lifeline (I assume this means threading another strand of yarn into a row I want to pick up)...
Sadly, I don't know the "right" way, when I rip, I tend to correct any twisted stitches as I re-knit the first row...maybe someone will chime in? ... ...
Hi Patty, I learned how to avoid twisted stitches after ripping out multiple rows in a class taught by Anna Zilboorg. It is WAY easier to show than to tell...
Chelsea, Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this. Your drawing is very helpful! Somehow my brain hasn't wrapped around the spatial info about...
I still have the ends to weave in, but Eyelet Cardi is done bein' knit. It ended up being way too wide... a completely avoidable gauge issue. As a result, I...
Well, I completed my sitcom chic last week sometime. I was waiting to write about it hoping I'd get a picture taken of it, but that still hasen't happened, so...
I'm here on the pattern: After 7 [8, 9, 10] DECs have been worked from the garter/eyelet/garter rows, begin Neck Shaping. and I'm a little confused. I don't...
I hope I understood you question correctly and forgive me if I'm oversimplifying... The slanty stitches come from the decreases. The pattern tells you to ...
Hi, I'm a little late in finishing my Sitcom Chic, I hope help is still out there!! After I join pieces and begin the DEC row here... Next row (RS): *Knit to...
You K2TOG K1 pass the marker K1 SSK. You're in the homestretch now! Good luck! ... _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC...
Sarah, Thanks for getting back to me. So you just do that on the first repetition and don't worry about the marker (leave it after the first K1) on the 2nd...
You will do the decrease (K2tog Ki pass mark K1 SSK) on each of the 3 repetitions. ... _________________________________________________________________ On the...
sorry for all the questions, i've never made a sweater before... so at this point in the pattern: Neck shaping During the Neck Edge Shaping, you will continue...
Yes...keep doing the decreases at the marker points until the neck gets bound off. ... _________________________________________________________________ ...
