I had no problem finishing mine - including sewing it together - but getting around to posting pictures got waylaid by travel, the holidays and the more travel.  But, keenie28, you have spurred me into posting the finished product.  I have worn this sweater a lot and have really enjoyed it!

It looks beautiful--job well done!  Do you have a photo with you wearing it (the demands never end!)?  :D

I know this is sideways, but I'm not that computer literate. I finished this in time for a trip to Canada and just love it althought it will be hot for Texas weather.

I have been knitting for many years, recently I came across a child sweather which asked for a welt, I must have spent hours on trying to figure this out, I should have come here first, after much problems I was able to work it out " sort a"  my mind is constantly going, while working on the sweater and I do mine top down, I wondered if there was an easier way, well I then decided once I got to the wrist length of the sleeve, to take another circular needle pick up stitches along the needle I was working on, created a "fake welt" I guess and it seems alright, (however it seems a bit rough looking........) although I would really prefer to do it the correct way, unfortunately I tend to be a bit long winded (apologies) could you direct me to an easely understood welt pattern, I tried   Utube, still clueless, in any case lest I take up your whole day, whatever help you could offer me would be so very much  appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi.  Not sure what happened with you.  When I choose the Pan Am Jacket link I'm taken to the correct page.  Maybe try it again?  Sometimes there are ghosts in our computers.  ;)

Kathleen, when I click on the offical forum link under your picture on my daily knittingdaily newsletter forthe new Pan Am sweater KAL, it brings this Caftan Pullover forum up instead.  How do I get to the official forum for the Pan Am sweater?  Thanks.  I noticed someone else has had the same problem.

Don't worry about using the exact yarn. any yarn of the same guage will work. The pattern says it is a #4 medium - which I think is about a worsted weight (Canadian description) or Arran Weight (again Canadian). OOo you lucky thing - some of the loveliest yarns I've used  from Italy. Have fun shopping.

HI, I'm new to Interweave and very excited!  I'd love to make this for myself, but before I jump in and buy the pattern, can you tell me if it's sizes go up to 1X? and if so, How much of what size yarn will it take, so I can figure if I can afford to  make it.  Thanks, Susie Artes

Hi, Hoping somebody can help me. I purchased a e-subscription to interweave knits but am unable to find the magazines on my computer. I have downloaded two already but can't remember where to find it.

Assuming you have Windows, there is a file called Downloads. I'm betting it's there. If you open it from there, do a "save as" and put it where you want it.
