I figure this is a good one to test a comment on.

Love the blog & the galleries. On another note: would it be possible for the store patterns to note the issue date they're from? I almost bought a pattern recently and realized I already owned the magazine issue it came from.

Thanks

My husband loves this sweater but would prefer it without the split neck. Is it easy to modify into more of a traditional crew neck?

Yes, PLEASE an article or two on knitting for pregnant women! I have put much of this year's knitting on hold because I have no idea how to make it fit!

I have heard of the Sunrise Circle Jacket being adapted for a baby belly, but since this is knit side-to-side, I don't quite know where to start making adjustments. Can you suggest any tips?

What a lovely gallery. Thanks, guys! I have one of those hubbys [of 31 years!] who doesn't like sweaters, but *might* wear a vest. Could we get some vests, please? & all these gents are in their slender period. We need some of the 55+ set; whaddya think?
I hate that neck on the sweater, though. If it wouldn't work on these guys, there is NO way, it would work on the taller, broader, chunkier men in my life! Jennifer

Okay, I have to second the question about the neckline: WHY does it hang so baggy on some of the men, and fit so neatly on T.J. and Sandi??? And how do we figure out how it will lie on OUR would-be-models, and how do we make it fit?
HELP!
My usual method is to just make the darn thing, THEN see who it's for... (I have a large pool of relatives and friends! :-P) However, I always start with the color... and they don't all look good in the same colors!

Wait you guys, the corset pullover used to be free on your site, what's happening here?

I am having problems with the spectrum scarf pattern. How do I get 4 strands out of one skein? Do I wind it into 4 separate balls? How long for each ball? I am confused!

I need help with the spectrum scarf pattern. How do I get 4 strands out of 1 skein? How much yarn per strand? Should I wind it into 4 separate balls? Can anyone help me with this?

Is it possible to knit this sweater with a crew neck? That is the preffered style in my family.

Ooh, who got the marriage proposal? Is the 6' 6" guy still up for grabs? I'm 6 ft and would love someone I could look up to -- and promise to be very patient about all the extra knitting involved in lengthening those arms and torsos! Pass on the word to Eric!
