I didn't post the original question, but as luck would have it, I wanted to know the same thing.  Thanks for the link, klement!  That is a gold mine of patterns!

tiamaria, you may also want to pick up Sheila MacGregor's "Traditional Scandinavian Knitting", once you are comfortable with the patterns, you can add them to a sweater.  A few years ago, I made gobs of little Christmas Stockings using these patterns.  Like you I think I am ready to make something a little larger!  Here is a link to my gallery and the Stockings:

Maybe a Norwegian-A-Long is in the future?

sulkycat-knitting in the round is so much easier than you think!  The greatest concern with knitting in the round I have found is how much you want to invest into it.  I bought a Denise interchangable set, so that I will have all combinations of cable lenths and needle sizes I will need to make whatever I want.  Well worth it.  If you are unsure, get a set of dpns, some yarn and knit a simple sock.  I find it way easier to do knit stitches over and over as opposed to turning and doing purl stitches, turning doing knit stitches.

On another note, I totally need to vent!  So I am working on the Textured Tunic, as I posted yesterday.  I worked on it some more and realized it is still too big!  I have to start over yet again!  One of my problems is that I didn't want the slit on the shoulder, so I left that out, but I see now that there is a reason it is there because the yoke needs to have 'give'.   So that when the yoke fits without the slit, the midsection part will be too wide!  I am not using the recommended yarn or needle size and the gauge is way different.  I thought I calculated correctly, but apparently not well enough.  I'm so annoyed!  Oh well, back to casting on...

So I am in the process of knitting the Texured Tunic.  And actually for the second time, since I didn't gauge correctly the first time around, and not including the fact that cotten stretches!  This is about the place where I started over:



I just finished the textured band!

This is the V-Neck Pullover from the same book:

So I have made a couple of sweaters now and something I have been wondering, how come sleeves aren't knit in the round?  Why are they knit flat and then seamed, which is a pain.  It seems like it would be easier and cleaner to knit in the round.  I am tempted to do this but before I do, do any of you experts know a reason not to?

Hey fellow Fitted Knitters!  I am going to be working on the Texured Tunic sometime this week (as soon as my Rowan Summer Tweed comes in the mail!)  If anyone cares to join me!  I finished Cozy V-Neck Pullover recently.  I love the designs in this book!

I work right next to the Sears Tower, would love to find other crafty sorts, esp if we can sit outside and work on our projects!

Keep me Posted!

What a great spin on the traditional afghan.  I love it!

That is so clever! You couldn't buy something that cool.  I'm so inspired!

Wow, can't believe that's the same dress!  Good Job, way to see beyond the frump!

Absolutely Stunning!!!!
