Beautiful Sweater!!

[TamKing]

I think this is one of Lion Brand's nicest new editions! There's another new sweater there that I'm starting this week.

[YarnBox]

What yarn is everyone using? The yarn called for is $$$$$. I am just ? if any 6-Super Bulky would work...... hum homespun?

[j_kawano]

im just going to use ww yarn that i can buy for cheap.

[YarnBox]

Julie if you use ww weight would you change the size of your hook?

[Yearnin' for Yarn]

Wow, I almost can't believe that is a LB pattern---it is just gorgeous! I love it!!! Thanks for calling it to our attention.

Julie if you use ww weight would you change the size of your hook?

I dont know, I will have to see if the gauge is right, but I am using a 6mm hook for it.

 

By the way, can someone help with row 3. I am stumped on that one and dont understand it very well.

[supafreak]

very nice. I'd like to make that for my sister

[TamKing]

That IS a beautiful sweater and is on my "to make" list. What color are you making yours in?

[flyinghooks]

I dont know, I will have to see if the gauge is right, but I am using a 10mm hook for it.

 

By the way, can someone help with row 3. I am stumped on that one and dont understand it very well.

 

Hi Julie - I was looking to maybe do this sweater too - What part of row 3 has you stumped? If it's Row 3 of Motif A than I'm assuming you're stuck where it says " 'beg corner' in same ch-4 sp". You have to look up to either row 2 or above to stitch explanation for the definition of 'beg corner'.

 

Does that help?

Yes I really liked that one too! I am wondering if it would look good with Red Heart Symphony... Hmmmm?

[Hellbo]

Loving the sweater & might be joining CAL - quick question: How many grammes of yarn does the pattern require?

I know it says 2 skeins but that means nothing to me & I need to know if I can afford to buy yarn.

Hope someone can help

Many thanks

I printed out that pattern last week, and am gonna see about giving it a go! It's so pretty, and I'm happy that it comes in larger sizes. I have some SS Sage that I've been wanting to do something nice with, and I'm thinking it'll be perfect for this project (even though it's not quite a chunky yarn, but then again, here in Central Texas, the winters aren't that cold...).

Hi the LB site says that Romance yarn is 85% Acrylic, 15% mohair and ia classified on as super bulky weight (#6).

Each skein is 8 oz/224 g (480 yd/440 m). It's knitting gauge is 11 sts, 14 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) on size 11 (8mm) needles.

 

Hope this helps!

 

I have some mohair/acylic blend that is DK weight.... I'm thinking about using 2 strand of it... hmmm must go swatch!

[Hellbo]

Many Thanks flyinghooks - it hepls plenty!

That is it! I dont know how to start a do a beg corner on motif A? Could someone post a picture of the corner?

[Roli]

I agree that that sweater is a beauty. I love the cowl neck and the lacy effect. Good luck with it and show us how it turns out!

[Sahmlock]

I just saw that last night...I envy the person(s) who can whip up one of those...hope to see the pics... maybe it will inspire me to "try"..good luck!

OK Julie - first I did post a picture on mly blog of my motif.

Next the "corner" in this motif is "dc3tog, ch4, dc3tog". But for the beginning corner it is a little different on both row 2 and 3. You have just slip stitched to the top of the chain 9 loop (row 2 ) or into the ch-4 space (row 3) and then you chain 3. The ch 3 will count as the first piece of the cluster, so you need to do a dc2tog instead of a dc3tog. So after you chain 3, the "beg corner" is "dc2tog, ch4, dc3tog"

 

Hope this helps.

[angelfire]

that is wonderful...good luck and I will love to see your finished project.

I talked to kmarcene (this thread's originator) and with her blessing have set up a CAL thread for this sweater.

 

Please come on over and join in the fun!

That is a beautiful sweater, I would love to try to make it at some stage but not yet, too hard for me

You can do it! :cheer

[supafreak]

has anyone tried this sweater yet? I'm trying it right now, and i'm just not sure how to join the "granny squares" it says to sew them together, but i'm just not sure if you sew around the chain 4 space, or catch one of the chains. does this make any sense? if anyone has tried this, then it will likely make sense to you
