St. Brigid is collecting dust these days. I hope others are accomplishing more than me. I plan to pull it out of the pile next week. Last week I was caught...
Yes, it's been very quiet. My St. Brigid is also collecting dust and I want to get back to it but I'm afraid I probably won't make much progress until after...
Well, I have the two sleeves, the back and three full repeats on the front complete. So, I'm treking along nicely. And that's included squeezing in some sock...
St. Brigid hasn't been getting much attention from me lately, either. I think I'll make it a priority to work on it some this weekend -- even a few rows will...
Thanks for sharing the yardage. It's good to know since we've all heard crazy Starmore yardage horrors. I believe the original pattern states 1,970 - 2,200...
It's so exciting to read through your KAL adventures. I have been entranced with this sweater for about a year and finally got my hands on a pattern through...
I'm thrilled with my yarn choice. It's Cascade 220;-) In a lovely greenish-blue heather. Here's a link to a photo of what I have done so far (which is not...
I am using the Jamieson Soft Shetland in the original purplely color AS used. It is a coarser wool than the Cascade (I used that on Na Craga). I like them...
Hi everyone! I JUST got the "Aran Knitting" book from the library today, and would love to join the KAL if it isn't too late! I was on the list for the book...
Caryn, We would love to have you join! For me, this may be a multi-year project! I had hoped the KAL would increase my attention to the knitting...but life...
Hi again! I spent last night swatching for St. Brigid. I made 3 swatches using Patons Classic Merino, Cascade 220, and the new Knit Picks "Wool of the...
Hey Caryn! Welcome to the KAL :) Charts - The charts indicate the stitch as you'll see it on the right side. Since this sweater is knit flat, the WS rows get...
So, The RS rows are charted, and the WS rows are just knitting the k's and purling the p's? Thanks for the heads up on the row count...that helps a lot! Caryn ...
Technically the WS rows are charted as well. It's just that you'll rarely need to refer to them IMO. Also - I forgot to mention that the row numbers are...
Karen and Katy, Thanks for the replies. If anyone else wants to share their yarn choices and comments, I'm all ears! Karen: I can't believe that you spun the...
No problem but I would put you on my list anyway...just considering yarn choices is good enough for me. :) I don't think I will be finishing my St. B anytime...
... rarely need to refer to them ... Hi - I just joined the KAL. I started St. Brigid on Jan 2 (this year). I'm on the 5th pattern repeat of the back. I'm...
YAY YAY YAY! It's sooooo beautiful!! Congrats on a job WELL done! Still waiting for my yarn to show up.... Caryn www.fuzzynoodleknits.com ... ===== Caryn...
I finished St. Brigid on Sunday night and wore it all day yesterday. I couldn't be happier! And it fits just as I'd hoped it would. I've posted quite a few...
If I may ask, what size do you wear in tops? Just need to gauge how my size 14 frame corresponds to the pattern. It looks gorgeous on you! Love the faces, is...
Vicki, it's perfect. I love that color. Another request for your size, if I may be so bold. So I can figure out what size to make. I'm sort of between the two...
Regarding size... With tops, I'm usually a Medium to Large, and with dresses it's anywhere from 10-14 (most often a 12, I guess), depending on what it is and...
Thanks for the info on sizing. I think I can go with the large and block to fit. Chris ... From: vknitorious To: st_brigid_kal@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
I am doing the large. It was inbetween sizes for me but I went with the larger. I was amazed at how much you can shift things around when blocking after I...
My library was able to get me a copy of Aran Knitting much faster than I anticipated, now I have to make some decisions! I was thinking about trying Wool of...
I was one of those people who mentioned the Webs Donegal Tweed back in August. I chose not to use it for St Brigid but that doesn't mean it's not right for...
