Hi, I'd like to be deleted as a member of this blog. I finished my minisweater more than a year ago and I'm trying to clear up my Blogger Dashboard. So please, delete me!

Hi all-A little late but the summer is long

I'm a little late knitting this summer sweater, I know, but better late than never. I saw this sweater two months ago and knew I had to knit one. I had a few things to knit first, so it had to wait, but now I'm pretty much done and I love it. It took me only 4 days to knit which I was quite surprised about. I have yet to sew in the ends and I have to find a good button for the front, but it's done and it fits. I'm thinking of knitting a second one and extending the waist down a bit like Tami made hers.
I had a few questions I wanted to ask while knitting, but I didn't want to wait for the answers so I just kept knitting. Did anyone else knit 10 rows more than in the pattern called for just before you separate the sleeves from the main body? Am I that big that I need 10 more rows? I ripped twice trying to get it to fit at this stage and the only thing that worked was 10 rows more. I'll post my picture as soon as I get it done.

Help!

Quick question: I am at the section where you add the sleeve stitches, and I'm confused. Can someone tell me which are the "sleeves" and which is the body? is it this:

sleeve PM sleeve PM body PM sleeve PM sleeve

or

sleeve PM body PM body PM body PM sleeve

I thought it was the second way but I also remembered less markers so I'm not sure how to proceed.

Thanks!

Newbie and new sweaters!

Hi! I've just started the minisweater after being a longtime reader of Stefanie's blog. I also just finished her One Skein Wonder and a friend finished her minisweater in 2 days so I was ready to start my own.

Today I cast on not one but two minisweaters. I started one in Rowan Cork, then decided I didn't like the garter stitch border but instead of frogging it, I decided to restart in my Rowan DK Marl. I'm not sure if it will work out or if I'll have enough DK Marl to finish, so I'm completing both simultaneously, if possible.

I'll put some photos on my blog later today if I can't get them uploaded here.

done! hooray!

I finished! I used Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted in black purl. I used way less yardage than was called for, so I guess my gauge was off. It fits me, so I don't care!
There are details & pictures on my blog.

row 15

Apologies if this has already been asked, but what exactly is meant by this:

work increase row as normal, but increase five stitches evenly over both sleeve sections.

Ok, so I need to do five increases in the sleeve sections, right. But the type of increase I have been doing (KLL and KRL) wouldn't really work in the middle of the fabric. So, do I just count my stitches and do a different type over the sleeve sections?
Also, on the sleeves-- they are knit flat, then seamed? Am I reading that correctly?
Thanks!

hi!

I just started the minisweater. I'm hoping it will fit well and not look silly on my less-than-ample rack!!
I'm using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted in Black Purl. It's soooo soft and lovely!

It's been close to 90 degrees here the last couple days so I haven't made much headway, but I'm hoping it will be a quick knit once I get going.

It's been slow going, but I've made some progress.... I'm so close to being done with the raglan... it's fun, but mindbogglingly boring at the same time.

I tried it on the other day, and its looking good! I love the way it poofs... I used some nasty green acrylic and its really holding its shape well. I think I'll make another one out of something else soon, or some sort of variation... I'm diggin how easy this pattern is to master.

Here's my version

My not-so-MiniSweater

I used 2 1/4 balls of Cottonease in Sugarplum and size 9 Denice Interchangeable needles. I also changed the border to moss stitch and added a few inches of lace below the button band. I really love how it came out! I'll be wearing this sucker all summer long. I finished a black one a few weeks ago, you can see it here. Thanks for letting me share! I've enjoyed seeing everyone's version of this great pattern.
