We won't be casting on right away anyway, so if you get your yarn a little late there will be plenty of time to catch up. I'll be taking the actual knitting steps fairly slow once we cast on since we all knit at different speeds. :)Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-50557339814015170442011-02-20T11:36:57.256-06:002011-02-20T11:36:57.256-06:00I found your blog through Casey and i always seem ...I found your blog through Casey and i always seem to find the sew/knit alongs way too late.

I guaranteed the construction is about the same as what I'll cover, resizing the same, and I can totally help you with interpreting the patterning that's up on the sleeves and yoke. You'd probably like this one vintage booklet I have that's called 'graph knitting'. Basically it's the shape of the sweater laid out on a graph paper and that's how you knit it. It's what really taught me about the (general) vintage sweater profile. Worth looking for a booklet like that on eBay or Etsy! The one I have has the cover ripped off but I think it's "Newlands’ - Original Designs by Kerry Kane".Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-52279003515630590752011-02-02T07:50:09.912-06:002011-02-02T07:50:09.912-06:00I'd love to join in with your knit-along.

Briar Rose is very adorable, but the collar and sleeves sadly will do my physique no favors. <br /><br />I hope I won't be too lost doing a different sweater? I must admit, one of my biggest challenges with knitting has been reading patterns. I'm a very visual learner, and all those abbreviations and written directions in knitting often throw me for a loop (ooh, that was a terrible pun, not intended). So I am looking forward to getting some help deciphering some of those things that have long baffled me.Moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462484062508881226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-36481154997323648442011-02-01T21:28:50.077-06:002011-02-01T21:28:50.077-06:00I can't wait to begin thinking about yarn!
