My changes mainly had to do with construction techniques (eliminating seams). The only change I made to the actual design of the sweater was to use the edging treatment in a couple of extra places. The style and fit of the cardigan is still exactly as the designer Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670952038534759102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-1150467856219902482006-06-16T07:24:00.000-07:002006-06-16T07:24:00.000-07:00I love it, too!

This pattern uses a little more than you might expect because of the extra depth of the sleeves in the upper arm area. <BR/><BR/>As far as the weight of the final garment goes, I'm not familiar with Katrina. Knit up a good sized sample (4 or 5 inches at least) and see if you like the resulting fabric.

I write as someone who, on the few occasions when I've knitted things, have to do so with fierce concentration and my tongue sticking out the side of my mouth.

I've never tried pockets. And, then there's my problemm with gauges. A local knitting teacher told me to take apart a sweater that did fit me well, and lay it out and as I knit my current sweater just keep adjusting Maggie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999931680942893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-1150374811349351422006-06-15T05:33:00.000-07:002006-06-15T05:33:00.000-07:00It's beautiful and very lovely on you.
