MagKnits Cold Shoulder by Stefanie Japel
Yarn: Jo Sharp Soho Summer DK Cotton in #224 Thyme
What I Learned: Trying on a garment periodically during a project is a good thing. Be very careful with your gauge. Buy an extra ball of yarn, especially if it is inexpensive.
Comments: This sweater has been my favorite project to date. I'm really pleased how it turned out. Stefanie is a wonderful designer, and I love all of her things. I emailed her with questions, and she quickly got back to me. When I did my gauge for this sweater, I thought I was spot on, but I must have been a touch off. I ran out of yarn while I was knitting the bottom edge (grrr!).

I like it! You did a good job.
Always buy an extra ball--that's my mantra. Just ask yourself, "what's worse, running out of yarn or having an extra ball of yarn?"
have a great weekend!
Love IT!!!! I've gotta knit this pattern now. I've been a bit stalled due to some beading projects that had to be done, and a gift I've got to start, but this will be one of the next projects!
Looks beautiful! Just the kind to wear out on the town!
Hi Amy! I'm new to your blog and wanted to say hi since I live (sort of) near you. I'm just north of Galveston and always get a bit excited when I see a "neighboring knitter"!
Beautiful job on your sweater! Take care!
