Fitted Knits Along

Update

Hello everyone,

thx for the comments ;)  It is a very lovely color.  Here are a few updated pics ~ Enjoy!

~ Back 2 School Vest ~

I began this one at the end of last month but had to frog it since I twisted it at the join. heehee  I started again on the 4th and its coming along rather nicely.  I've just finished the P2 K2 which took abit but I made it.  I've started the middle ribbing type section and will begin the waffle pattern.  I can't wait to see it finished.  Here is a pic:

Back to School U Neck Vest FO

This was not even a project that was on the radar until I began to see fabulous FO after FO. With a set of ill-turning projects, I cast on for this beauty earlier this month. I am very pleased with the outcome. Specific details on modifications, etc. on my  blog.

Fitted Shrug

I love this shrug!

Yarn: Malabrigo, colour Pearl Ten.

I made the 16inch size, but probably should have gone up to the 17in. A really good pattern, i'm thinking of doing a black and red one.

Just (barely) in time for spring...

I'm done with the leaf-tie cardigan! Thanks to someone's advice on here, I made my leaf ties about half as big as the pattern instructed. Other than that, no modifications and I'm very happy with how it came out! I used Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece (lime light) instead of Indulgence.

BTS Vest Done

I finished my BTS Vest. I like the fit. It took me several times to get the gauge right (and read the pattern). One day, I'll get it right the first time. ;-p I used 3 skeins of Cascade Quattro. I narrowed the straps a little, but next time I would decrease more.

Tiny cotton shrug

I'm making the smallest size two-tone ribbed shrug for my future step-daughter in Ceallach Dyes' Summer Cotton.  I love how this yarn is knitting up, and I am so thrilled that it's coming together so fast!  I've only been working on it for about a week (for an hour or two in the evenings). More pictures & updates available on my blog and on my Ravelry project page.

Gauge for v-neck pullover?

Hi all--
I've had the yarn for a long time and finally sat down to cast on for my v-neck pullover.  I discovered a big challenge right away.  I'm having a hard time getting gauge (3.5 st/in) with the Cascade Pastaza--I've already gone from the recommended size 9s to size 10s and am still too tight.  Anyone else experience this?  I'm going to swatch again tonight with size 10.5s...any other ideas?  Am I missing an errata post somewhere?
Love seeing everyone's projects!  I've been having computer challenges but should be able to post pics of my back-to-school vest and my 2-tone shrug soon...

Done.

Of all six sweaters I have knit out of the book, this one was the most frustrating with the guage and fit.  The third time worked well, but I think I should have just disregarded the gauge and stuck with the 15 needles suggested.  Anyway, it's done.

Spencer Coat

After doing numerous baby gift knits, I have now started this project, my sixth FK sweater.  I just couldn't get my gauge right using the Cascade Magnum and the 15 needles, so I tried 17's which were okay.  Started in the 17's, got halfway through, checked gauge again, and I just did not like it.  So I just frogged the whole thing and am going up to 19's.  I just can't believe I have to knit it with such large needles.   But I am knitting the largest size, and I do want it to fit.  Has anyone else had gauge problems with this knit or any others in the book?
