Howdy Audrey A-Long-ers! I'm new to the group, but have been reading this blog almost since it got started. I cast on for Audrey back in September, and have finished the back and one sleeve. I'm using Calmer in "Zeal" (the deep purple that I know several others are using, too) - I got it on sale when it was discontinued over the summer. It has been great being able to read all the tips and advice on this site while knitting the pieces - especially as regards the darts in the front/back pieces (which I'm doing according to the pattern). My goal: to have this sweater finished before I leave for Christmas, so that I can wear it while I'm spending the holiday with my family in NJ. Wish me luck! :)
Posted by Elizabeth at November 17, 2004 09:25 AMGood luck! I'm knitting in Zeal as well...at first I thought it was too purple, but now I love it. I'm hoping to have my done by Christmas, too, but we'll see how that goes. Best of luck! ~Ara
