Am I awake? Alive? This is a moment I was beginning to think I'd never get to. After so many starts and frogs and restarts I stopped counting, I just cast off the back of my Audrey, and it looks GOOD! I found the directions ambiguous (well, lacking completely really) as to how to stay in rib for the increases, and after many tries, I finally settled on a way that I feel looks best. It may be different from everyone else's -- we shall see. And we shall also see whether I can remember how to do it for the other body piece! (argh)
I was more than a little peeved when I tried to see how it was done in the picture, only to find out that in both model shots, the darts are completely covered up by -- arms (his and hers)! It's almost as if they don't WANT you to see them. RRR.
I also shortened everything so the resulting piece is 2.5 inches shorter. I'm 5'3" and I didn't want this sweater ending down around my hips. Unfortunately no photo, because I couldn't get a good shot without natural light. Leaving on a trip across the Adirondacks to pick up our daughter from college tomorrow. I have not had good luck with Audrey in the car in the past -- seems she gets carsick --so I'm trying to decide whether to leave her at home or give her another chance. (yarn Dramamine, you think?)
Posted by at May 15, 2004 08:20 PMHey Norma... sounds like you're doing great. So, what's the method you used for your increases?? I have been following the directions, but am not sure if they are correct (and I haven't had time to knit much this weekend).

How's it going with Audrey? I need to know how you did your increases? Finally, I used Tiffany's decreases and they turned out fine... now I am struggling with the increases. Also, did sit down with a calculator and figured out those 3/4 sleeves.
