hello,
i read your comments on this one. you’re the one before last to have posted anything in the knitting nature KAL. i have been wanting so much to join to show my sideways buttoned cardigan, alas no answer…
what i wanted to say with norah’s pattern that i knit is she proceeds in the same manner of thought as i did. i will explain why this was good for me. say you have your gauge exactly like the one she has ok? (which you did in this one), so instead of using a measuring tape for length, what i did was calculate how many rows that would be (algebra). i did just that and found out that norah goes by repeats of patterns (i am french an trying to be clear here i hope i manage …) so in fact say till the arms there were three repeats. i mean, she ends till under the sleeves at a point in the pattern where this part of the motif ends, then she’d have the decrease bind off then she’d start at another part of the motif…
so, if you knit this one again, i suggest you try counting how many rows your inches count is and go by rows for the chart
the picture with your room mates back in college is lovely, i wish you all the luck. i am a buddhist so i was very happy to find your hat pattern and will knit it. i am also looking for a tiny lotus design to have the ONLY tatoo of my life ever, so should you have a jpeg file, please let me know?! i am sure you’d be more resourceful than i on this one. please do email me about anything else or leave a comment or both. lovely seeing you here metta.
Zaz

I love the way your tunic turned out – it’s the perfect fit! And the color is fab, it really looks wonderful on you. The Elann yarn certainly looks beautiful, even if it’s a bit on the rebellious side.

Your tunic came out lovely! I’ve been looking forward to seeing it – I love Norah and this is one of my favorite patterns from the book. Thanks so much for sharing details of your mods and the pattern, very helpful. And I agree with your students – you are one tough grader. I’d give it an ‘A’ for sure!

Gorgeous! Thanks for the thorough yarn review, too–I’ve been wondering about that Elann, it sounds like it’s work a try.

Bravo! Very nicely done, set in sleeves and all. It really is a knit kurti, I would have to agree.

Looks wonderful on you…I’d give you an A.
