I am just wondering how you handled getting to the neckline when you shape the shoulders on the front piece. I think I may be reading the pattern incorrectly because I am left with 8 live stitches on the middle of the neck on a stitch holder after the shoulders are cast off. Do you have any suggestions to help me?

I was researching the wool and found your blog. This looks great and your tips are brilliant thanks. <br />I am going to give it a go, however I am thinking I might leave the fronts (backs) separate and let them drape with a shawl pin at the bust. When I get to that point I will see what I think. What shall I knit with the left over balls?

I have used the 7, and a 6, a 5, and even now down to a size 2, the finished sweater looks to be lovely solid fabric and not open work. When using the 7s I got this lovely yet far too open work fabric. I have no clue how they got gauge and came out with what appears solid sweater fabric.

As for running stitches, you know how cardigan patterns are all fitted these days? Well, I almost always sew mine shut with running stitches!

However, it is a thousand times cuter the way you are wearing it, where it opens in front! It looks really arty and modern, actually!

I've been eyeing the Pure Linen everytime I go into John Lewis (which carries most of the Rowan lines) and it will probably be the first yarn I buy next year when my stash diet is over. I really like the sweater that Kristen knit and Arizona colour that you chose. Have fun in Yorkshire. I'm actually headed back to Canada in July and up to Sault Ste Marie to visit my brother - thanks to one of your posts, I've marked the address of the yarn store there!
