Hi,
I'm making good progress on this project and having a lot of fun. The yarn is working beautifully and the patterns are so interesting, but not too difficult that I get discouraged.
I've decided not to go too crazy with the modifications. I am using the cabled ribbing, although I cast on 122 sts instead of the 117 suggested for the largest size. I also cut out one inch of ribbing, so it's 3 in instead of 4. Then I increased 8 ins on the last row of ribbing to get to the 130 st count for the body of the sweater.
The only modification to the main part of the sweater I made was the striping. The directions say to make 16 row stripes but I am doing 8 rows. To tell you the truth, the photo looks like 8 rows, too, so maybe there was a mistake in the pattern. 16 seems too thick to me.
So I am getting perfect gauge and so far the width is 22" which will fit me with about 2 inches of ease. My plan is to make drop sleeves 10" deep instead of the set in sleeve. For now I still have about 10 inches to go before I have to decide. Here is my progress so far. I'm loving this!!!
Happy Sailing, Sue
