No errors/corrections have been found with that part, but I'd suggest practicing the lace over a smaller number of stitches, maybe just one or two repeats, to test things out and figure out what you might be doing wrong. Sounds like you've got ssk just right.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273727983110361664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333545075902457976.post-7020133902206138472010-10-12T16:11:25.476-07:002010-10-12T16:11:25.476-07:00I just love the lace work at the neckline of this ...I just love the lace work at the neckline of this cardigan! My daughter has begged for it too! So, I purchased it off KnitPicks along with the yarns and was so anxious to start it. I have knit the neckline 3 times and the Diamond Mesh pattern is not working for me. Were there any corrections to that pattern? When I slip the stitches for ssk and sl1 I am slipping them as to knit. Is that correct? I appreciate any help with this as I really am anxious to knit this.Nancy Bollingberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086649220005605434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333545075902457976.post-26171054054345655012010-09-09T12:06:00.208-07:002010-09-09T12:06:00.208-07:00Any ideas on how I could "draw in" the n...Any ideas on how I could "draw in" the neckline on my Gemma? It is all done, but the neckline is way too big, the sweater keeps trying to slip off my shoulders and too much of my shirt underneath is showing. I like the cardigan, but that neckline has really stretched out too much. I used KnitPicks Cotlin to knit the sweater in the 40" size.Laura Altesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333545075902457976.post-76826047814754221212010-08-26T07:28:27.051-07:002010-08-26T07:28:27.051-07:00I want to make this lovely sweater for my daughter...I want to make this lovely sweater for my daughter. <br /><br />But, we're worried about her measurements.<br /><br />She's 34 across her breasts & 31.5 around & up under her arms.....<br /><br />This is my first sweater project and I'm not sure which size to knit for her.<br /><br />Do you have any advice?katiebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262129879015590898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333545075902457976.post-5550950748212641752010-06-16T12:02:03.201-07:002010-06-16T12:02:03.201-07:00I am in the middle of this cardigan and I must say...I am in the middle of this cardigan and I must say it's the best pattern I've EVER worked with.
