Does anyone know what TODAY is?? Yep, that's right. SEPTEMBER 1! I'm pulling out St. Brigid from my work basket and will start working on her today. I...
ugh. I was hoping everyone would forget! I am going to treat this like a class. Do the work or flunk! Anything to get motivated. I must admit though, I'm...
... I'm in - will be trying to knit at least a few rows a week! I'm nearly 5 repeats in on the back and it's speeded up slightly since I put it on an Addi...
Would you believe I'm a little scared of starting this project? It's been sitting on a pedestal for nearly 6 years whilst I've idolised the book, the pattern...
Me! I pulled my started sweater out of it's hiding place and got my charts and notes together. I'm ready to get back to my St. Brigid. I'm out of town this ...
Hi Johanne, Just take a deep breath and dive in..that is the only way to test the waters! I'm a newbie, too and you and I will just have to take it a step at...
Hi, I’m finally ready to cast on for St Brigid. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how to make necessary changes to make it fit me. Basically I had...
I recall what you did with the last Starmore Aran you knit, Heidi -- it was wonderful and suited you so well! It'll be fun to see where St. Brigid leads you....
I joined this group awhile back, but it wasn't active and I wasn't knitting St. Brigid yet, so I finally unsubscribed. This morning I was blog-surfing and...
Is anyone else going to skip the fringe and do some other kind of edge treatment on St. Brigid? With three small dogs who love to lay in my lap whenever I sit...
Hi -- I will skip the fringe for sure. I was thinking of doing a couple of inches of moss stiches, but garter sounds good too. I got the yarn especially for...
... I but have 5 and a bit pattern repeats done on the back and the bottom edge shows no sign of curling or rolling because the texture of the fabric is very...
Hi Laura, I agree. Knowing all the work that will go into this sweater makes the color selection all the more difficult. I don't know where you could get a...
The St. Brigid on the Virtual Yarns site does not have the fringe on it and it is very pretty. I can't really tell if they did anything different at the...
Hi, Whenever I knit an aran, I always purl the first row, and then on the next row start with the pattern. I have never had any problems with a rolling edge....
Hi Rebecca, I saw Suz's FLAK when I was surfing around - the color is very pretty, but I'm thinking I might want a mossy green or grey-green color. I'm trying...
I've decided to just go ahead and start the sweater as the pattern is written (got too eager to see the cables develop!). I am doing it in the round up to the...
I will not have fringe either. Since I cast on way back in January, I made the decision for no fringe a long time ago. I did a litte bit of calulating to ...
Hello to everyone-- I've recently joined the St. Brigid knitalong, and I'm very pleased that there are others just starting now, or continuing along. I'm ...
I started my St. Brigid a week ago and am on round 17 (I'm doing it in the round up to the armholes as I hate sewing seams after the knitting is done) and this...
Hi, Thank you Annie for your nice comment regarding my Filey. I’d love to see pictures on your Irish Moss! Unfortunately I’ve currently put down St Brigid....
Hi girls, I posted a picture on my blog of St. Brigid in progress. I've taken a little break from it for the past couple weeks and need to pick it up again....
Rebecca, your St. Brigid looks beautiful! I think you have the right idea about pacing yourself. No pressure makes the process a lot more enjoyable....
Hi everyone! I´m a newbie here; got so attracted to this pattern while reading Heidi´s blog and decided to suscribe here at once :) Now I´m wondering where...
Hi Piisku, The bad news is that this pattern is only available in Alice Starmore’s book Aran Knitting. The good news is that it is available in the library...
I've just posted a couple of pictures of my St. Brigid in progress. I'm making it in Navy, in a yarn (Karabella Majestic) with a 20% mohair content, so the...
... Looks gorgeous - lovely colour! ... Mine is tighter than the rest of the sweater. I'm hoping to do some Strenuous Blocking to sort out the problem! Photos...
Hi Annie, Your St Brigid is coming along very nicely! And the colour is beautiful. I’m also a member of FLAK, where this very issue has been the subject of ...
