First fitting: So far, so good...
Hey everyone, I'm Aimee from Paris, France. I started Green Gable two days ago and have been making great progress. I was finally able to try her on and everything fits so far! yay. I'm using Debbie Bliss Cathay in Black and I love how it feel. I think that this is a nice subsitute yarn as I wasn't able to get the yarn the pattern called for here in Paris. The DB Cathay is a cotton, silk, viscose blend and feels really nice against the skin. The viscose in the yarn helps with the drape, I have a feeling this sweater is going to fit like a glove.
Looking at the sleeves on the waste yarn and I'm thinking I really like the look of it. Kind of gives it a casual feel which is exactly my style. I need some advice on how to keep the rolly sleeve without the sleeves wanting to roll too much. Anyone have any ideas?

That yarn looks just lovely!
Holly,
I got gauge using clover 4mm needles and knit loosely. When I gauged using 4mm addis it didn't work, I don't know what it is with the clovers but it worked. Thanks for the tip on the sleeves, I'm going to try that.
Susan, This pattern is really easy to adjust and I felt the same as you did. I got better gauge with the clover needles because the yarn didn't slip as much as they did on addis. Next time I knit this, which I plan on doing very soon, I will make the neck line bigger so it's more of a boat neck.
