I love my rocky coast with the mods. I tried it without and was not pleased with the fit.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I'm a new spinner, but I'm already completely hooked. I'm not in the area, but I'd love to join you! Also, that pile of spinning fibre looks just luscious.

I haven't knit Rocky Coast but it's on my must-knit list, someday I will get there. As Sarah mentioned, many knitters commented on how it tends to fall off the shoulders and I believe the designer came up with some adjustments. I think I saw them on her blog.

I sometimes have to be away from the city for work during October but if I'm around I'd love to be on the Vancouver team!

Oh! That is good advice on the sleeves... thanks!! Call the Midwife looks interesting... almost like Upstairs Downstairs?

I will be cheering you on from the sidelines! Have you watched 'Call the midwife'?

The only advice I have on the cardigan is that I have heard the sleeves were tight for some people, I think that there are notes from the designer on Ravelry on how to make changes to the sleeves.

I've heard awesome things about West Wing. I started the new BBC Sherlock... just 2 episodes in now. Fringe sounds like it's right up my alley too.

I looove Firefly! Mad Men sounds like a good pick too...

Oooh, good to know. Would love to see photos of yours. Are they up on Ravelry?

My girlfriends and I knit Rocky Coasts for our annual Christmas exchange and we all love wearing them. NB: the cardigan will fall off your shoulders quite regularly with the collar/front bands worked as written. Mine felt like wearing a shawl with sleeves... I was constantly pulling it back up. So I ripped that section out and removed a whopping sixteen stitches centered at each shoulder by k2tog's over the pick-up stitches. MUCH better!

bring your sweater to class every week for show and tell, you have a room full of knitters who would be glad to cheer you on!

Too much Oxblood? Bite your tongue! But seriously, that is an amazing new colour!! I agree with Elzabeth re Fringe and also recommend Firefly (or a Mad Men marathon from the beginning?) Please post WIP pics?

I highly recommend watching the series Fringe on Netflix. It is streaming and it is what I am watching right now during my project time at night. Before that I watched the entire West Wing series. Good Luck!!!

yes, i made the same pattern and crocheted a slipstitch edge, and it fits much better now and does not slip off my shoulders.

I have never knit a sweater for myself because I have 'curves' that do not respond well to the average pattern at all. I am not advanced enough (not even close) to know how to modify a pattern. This book would be perfect for me!!

Have only knit myself one cardigan. It fits okay but the back rides up some so I'm constantly pulling it down. I've started a second sweater recently for myself hopefully this one turns out better. Would love the book to get some tips.

choosing a flattering sweater is so key, and soooo easy to get wrong. i'm sure guilty of loving things that don't really look right once i put them on. this book sounds fascinating and oh so useful.
