Progress
Hello! I've managed to finish both front and back and have seamed the shoulders and sides. I'm hoping to cast on the sleeves tonight but I'm still playing with some math. I'll be away for a week and I don't know if I'll have comupter access so if not, hopefully I'll have a finished sweater by the next time I post!

Updated pictures of my Phildar
Hello,
I haven't touched my Phildar since the last time I posted an entry. However, shown here are more updated pictures of my Phildar. Hopefully this will help to give some motivation. ^_^

sos, very emergency!
You know when you mess up and then get frustrated then keep messing up and getting more frustrated, then nothing works? Yea, that's me right now.
I'm trying to swatch, but I don't think I'm doing the pattern right because my holes between the groups of 4 sts don't seem as large as everyone else's. I'm not sure what's throwing me off but I think it's the 3rd row. I'm so confused that I don't even know what to write to explain what I am doing. Just when I thought I had the whole pattern translated and the hard part was over...
I think the lllV in the 3rd row says slip 1st stitch to the right, K 3, pass the slipped stitch over the 3 st. but I keep ending up with extra stitches, so I'm definitely doing something wrong...

Hurray! First Post
Hello Fellow KAL-ers!
This is my first KAL and my first post but I do have some progress pics to share. I had finished the entire back of the sweater last Saturday but I had to frog it because it was simply too long - I've adjusted the pattern so the sweater doesn't cup my bum now.
These are pics of Back v.2 - I'm nearly ready to begin armhole shaping.
I'm knitting with Rowan Cotton on US 8 (5 mm) in a khaki colour.
Can't wait to see other progress shots!
Happy Knitting!

Worst blog host...ever!
...tn the immortal words of the comic store guy from The Simpsons.
Guys, I'm so sorry that I've been totally MIA on this blog. You guys seem to be making some progress! I, however have not. I'm still recovering from Christmas knitting (can you believe it?) I'm so far behind with projects for myself...even a pair of socks is taking over a month to complete!
For those of you who recently asked to join, please hear my heartfelt apologies for delaying your invites, they have gone out this morning.
I'm back up and running (on all levels -health, internet, etc), so let's kick this thing off in 2006!
Who's with me?
