I'm doing a frenzied dance by the mail box waiting in anticipation of the arrival of MY Calmer. Some nice and squooshy coffee bean for me. Keeping fingers crossed for arrival time of Wednesday, but won't be surprised if it stretches out to Thursday. The USPS does that to me sometimes.
I'm watching the discussion of the bodice shaping carefully since I didn't think the front darts were particularly objectionable. But I don't have as much experience as other knitters with darts, so I guess I will have to hold out final judgement until I see how they look in person. I definitely want the garment to be shaped, as that is one of the characteristics of the sweater that attracted me in the first place. I think it will be nice with a little cling.
I've already swatched some Calmer and got gauge using one size smaller than recommended needles, but will probably swatch again when my yarn gets here. Can't wait to join in the knitting frenzy.
