"Lucky" from SNBN knitalong

[Xiuxiu]

I really like the contrasting strap.  Great job!

Jet me just start off by saying that I'm very impressed with the Lucky's and the progress that has been posted here thus far. I am thrilled to have found a knitalong for this sweater!

I started Lucky in May and knit constantly for a week: finished the back, and I'm not quite half done both fronts (I'm knitting them at the same time). I'm leaving for vacation again this weekend, for two weeks, and I plan to get as close to finished as possible while I'm there.

I used an unknown (can't find it anywhere on the 'net) tweedy yarn from Sweden. It's brown, with rust and light blue flecks in it. Hopefully I"ll be able to post a picture tonight! Good luck, everyone!

Juniper, that's a gorgeous Lucky!!

Mine's sitting neglected in my knitting basket while I work on other things. Something tells me that I'm making the wrong size. I have the back done and one front piece mostly done... I'll have to remeasure and see if it will work or not. I'd hate to do all this work and have it swim on me.

anyone still knitting along on Lucky?

I'm getting ready to start mine!  I'm using KnitPicks Shine in Cloud (or was it Fog?  hmm) - a light grey color that should make it easy to wear at work or home or anywhere.

I'm knitting Lucky now, I just have a little bit of one sleeve done. so I don't know how much help I could be.

I'm knitting Lucky right now - also using Knit Picks Shine, mine's in Orchid.  I've got the back finished and just started working on the right front.  It's a little slow going on the #3 needles. 

The Shine works up nice with the clover lace pattern.

These are all beautiful!  I've been considering making Lucky for awhile, and after seeing how great these all turned out I definitely have to make this pattern soon.

I've ordered the book and some yarn, so hoping they turn up this week. I'm inspired by all the luckys I've seen here.

I'm working on mine every so often. I started almost a year ago, but it was a little tedious and hard for me at the time. Then, I had to frog back half of my work because of a glaring mistake in the lace. I'm thinking about picking her up again. I'm using Elann's "Endless Summer Collection" Sonata cotton yarn. Here's the progress so far:
