Second, I am extremely jealous of your knitting ability. One of my goals this year is to learn. Loved hearing you speak at Blissdom, you did a great job.<br />Toni First, great job on the sweater… it is adorable. Second, I am extremely jealous of your knitting ability.

I wanted it to be longer than that. I think the difference between myself and the picture for the pattern is that I am very small on top. For someone who is more busty, the pattern might require some modifications to accommodate on top. I, unfortunately, do not have that problem ;) <br /><br />I will definitely look up that pattern and yarn suggestions- thank you so much for sharing your knitting expertise!<br /><br />Theresa- I am on a cowl kick too. I am repeating a pattern for one that I made for my mother-in-law, but for myself this time. I took it with me to the airport this week- great project to tuck in a bag!

I was on a cowl kick for a while, currently knitting shawls! LOL! Absolutely adorable!

I am a knitter myself and went to the site you posted for the directions. I dislike the capelet on that site. Not my style. I don't like how it cuts across the bustline. Not busty myself but am a practical Indiana girl too! My mother's parents were from the Elkhart area. My parents have lived in Mishawaka, Warsaw and Greencastle. (Now live in Kentucky myself.) I prefer it the traditional length that you have made with the green one. Did you lengthen the pattern? DId you add additional stitches around so it would not pull away to the back at the bustline?<br /><br />Have you looked on Ravelry? There is a lace short sleeved cardi that is similar but lacey.- the CeCe sweater. I plan to make that but yours really caught my eye to make as a spring sweater or a gift.<br /><br />You may also want to check out Knitpicks if you haven't already done so. This is inexpensive quality yarn. Different fiber blends available though a limited color supply. I think they buy qunatity from a supplier then they get balled all with their "generic" label on it. THey have some knew circular needles too. Very unique. You buy the length cord you need and then you buy the needle tip size separately. THe needle tips just get screwed into the size cording you need. YOu can also unscrew with your project still on the cording, then screw on a cap that is provided. Then, you are free to use the needle tips on another cord with another project if you have 2 going. <br /> Heather K. Love the capelet!
