I do that to, draw and measure and maths, and its so nice to see the process is universal. and the repaired side shaping - I love it, I love the idea of the sides worked on smaller needes, can't see why it wouldn't work. In fact - I'd love to see a sweater with a section worked in a smaller guage - just to explore the notion. <BR/>SStellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073753506202447996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-15511688305267361392009-01-23T22:13:00.000-08:002009-01-23T22:13:00.000-08:00I'm going to love following the progress of this s...I'm going to love following the progress of this sweater as I'm in the midst of my own design effort. I am most envious of your organization -- I did equally as much sketching and swatching, but mine is on bits of notepaper. I really need to use a notebook like you. And I think you made the right choice on the rib!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments on twinset!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-26495182682234771282009-01-23T21:27:00.000-08:002009-01-23T21:27:00.000-08:00Okay. . . . so remember when we were discussing w...Okay. . . . so remember when we were discussing where we'd knit in public at lunch last week?? So you knit in the movies??? Do you have probs when it's do dark or was Desperaux just brighter than bright?? do tell your secrets.

I wasn't sure about the granite rib in the swatch, but I really like it in your cast-on piece. Looks like you're off to a good start! <BR/><BR/>I usually work waist shaping over 5 or 6 inches, which is actually pretty crowded for decreases, depending on how well-fitted you want the waist to be.EGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941668303286640744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-4893080440550222102009-01-22T19:32:00.001-08:002009-01-22T19:32:00.001-08:00Oh and I love the twisted edging.

Sadly I can't help at all because I've only knit one sweater.
