Hello Susan, Can I please ask you a question about your lovely BSJ that you blogged about in August 2007?

I am trying what you suggested: knitting the central 88 stitches instead of 90 and keeping the marked stitch the same once the 158 sts are back on the needle (i.e. after those central 10 ridges are finished). I am continuing to use an increase on each side of the marked stitches until I’m ready to BO. I’m now at the point to BO and I have noticed that the rounded lower front edge of the sweater (where the corner would have been if I would have knit acording to the pattern) is curling up. Probably because the garter stitch is rounding a corner but I didn’t increase there. Your photo doesn’t seem to show this. Did you do anything to counter this rolling? I’m wondering if you also increased at that point also? tia, Sue

Hey remember what Erma Bombeck said – if it doesn’t smell and it doesn’t block the refrigerater, it’s fine. No one cares…

My house is full of cats, dogs, my kids and their friends. I’d rather have them here and feel welcome than wonder where they are and what they are doing. I’ve learned to knit with my yarn ball propped up on top of various animals napping by me!

I finally finished your Fountain Pen Shawl – it’s beautiful. In fact, it turned out so nice everyone is afraid to borrow it!

Thanks for the tip! I am always watching out for the stitch gauge so row gauge was never something I considered important

What a great design! Sounds like you are right on track with the sweaters, as we are just at the halfway point in the year, but I do agree with your feeling that the year is whizzing right by. Have a lovely summer with your son.

You know how it is… if the knit doesn’t fit the intended recipient, you just find someone it does fit. Very nice work.
