Thanks! I’m loving EZ’s Almanac and am just at the sleeve point of the baby sweater and madly googling answers to my questions about cast on. Yours are the best and much appreciated.

Thank you for your insight into EZ’s baby sweater pattern. This has helped so much! This is my first attempt ever on any sweater and I was getting very frustrated with the sleeves…not understanding I had to pick up the cast-on stitches. Many thanks. Just wish I read your blog before starting my sweater. Thanks again!

Thank you for providing such wonderfully detailed instructions.

The sleeves, however, were not my source of confusion regarding this pattern. I was confused about the 4.5 inch bit.

My question was should I stop @ 4.5 inches from the beginning or the 4.5 inches into the pattern???

You answered it “pithly” and then some!

Thanks so much!

Hi, I found your blog by searching for help on these directions. I was extremely confused by this portion of the instructions, also. I haven’t started the sweater yet (I was waiting to understand the instructions first–I hate to get stuck in the middle) and I’m glad for your interpretation of things to help shed some light. There is an adult version of this sweater on flintknits.com and I wonder if checking out her construction method would help some people? I have it bookmarked for myself…I need all the help I can get!

Thank you Thank you Thank you! For a somewhat rookie knitter, EZ’s instructions left much to the imagination and other searches only provided such helpful comments as, “This sweater is as easy as everyone says”…great thanks.

Just wanted to thank you for the clarification on the sleeves — you are not the only one! Having frogged one complete yoke and sleeves, this is a great help as I restart.

thank you sooooooo much for posting your suggestions on this pattern. i’m at the 4.5″ mark right now and have been searching for a couple of weeks now for some good advice. i love EZ’s narratives and the instructions have been fine so far, except for the buttons and the sleeves. i have frogged this sweater a few times already. i started in cotton then went to a wool / acrylic mix that i had a lot more of. i couldn’t get the lace pattern to align correctly so my latest attempt also included some stitch-markers, that is now going great as well. i can now proceed with confidence!!! thanks again!!

You have definitely saved me confusion and trouble by solving the “and knit up 4 x 7″ riddle. Too late to save me from the missing yoke buttonholes though — but that’s alright. Thanks a mil for sharing your troubles. I hope some good knitting karma comes your way!
