I also love the book; just got it a few weeks ago, so I'm still "shopping" through it to decide which one to do first! I know this has GOT to be on here somewhere, but I can't find it: Where can we get/buy a copy of the pattern for the sweater you are wearing in your author photo??? I gotta have it! Hi!

I really love this yarn. I think it’s Manos — I have a lonely skein of the same colorway. I would KILL for enough of it to make a sweater, but at $15 a pop for on skein of variegated… well. Better off making the yarn myself! [...] […] Oh my, isn’t this sweater beautiful?! I really love this yarn. I think it’s Manos — I have a lonely skein of the same colorway.

This will increase the sleeve circumference while keeping the body circ. the same. Francesca,

A few rows before you’re ready to separate the sleeves from the body, do your raglan sleeve increases every row, instead of every OTHER row, just on the sleeve portions, not in the body sections. This will increase the sleeve circumference while keeping the body circ. the same.

I don't see any repeats, and even if I did, I prefer books to printouts... it's one of the few knitting books i have where I've given 5 stars on Amazon, and where I want to make most of the patterns! BUT I have a little question. I am halfway through the v-neck with deep rib, I'm making it in blue skies alpaca suri, and it's fabulous. Only thing is, I have realised that the sleeves are going to be very snug - . I'm following the second size, as I'm a 38 bust. This should be ok, but do you have any tips for future sweaters on making the upper arms a little bigger? I can't really figure out where I could increase a few stitches. Thanks in advance, Francesca PS CAn't wait for next book! Hi Stephanie

I'm having trouble narrowing down list of the 6+ things I want to knit first. :D It seems so odd to me that people are concerned about a *handful* of familiar design elements, when the large majority of the designs are so fresh and varied and incredibly gorgeous.

Living in Seattle I can wear a sweater about 9 months out of the year. I plan to knit just about all of these (not really a tube top kinda girl here). Thank you for dreaming up such lovely, fashionable designs, and for presenting them in such a beautiful book. I too love your book!
