Love Love LOve it. It is a fair isle design that is stylish enought that I would love to wear it. Question for the experts.... as someone who has zero ability to modify a pattern.... autumn rose has a slightly lower neckline than I'd feel comfortable with. Maybe 1-2 inches higher.... is there an easy method to making a change? I think this will be my next challenge when I complete my Persian Tiles. :) The colors are just perfect!
Autumn Rose - beautiful colors and knitting! Can't wait to see the sleeve and body knitted together - so exciting! Makes me want to get back to stranded knitting! m :)
I took "Rose" on vacation with me (I'm posting this from Vancouver Island) and lo and behold - forgot the shetland black at home!!!!! I've done as much on the sleeve as I can without the black but I'm so mad at myself. It's a great pattern and none of the yarn stores here carry the Shetland 2 ply. It looks beautiful so far. Can't wait to see yours.
