Anyone want to knit along with me?

Just wondering if there is anyone else that might be interested in
ordering the Moon Garden Cardigan pattern and knitting along with me?
Please? Really...I only scored a "Knit Novice" on the quiz! and now
I'm suppose to read a chart? ACK!

Let me know...I'm thinking of going to buy the yarn for the waistband
and cuffs today.

Hoho! Charted color knitting is easy!

I would love to knit this sweater but currently unable to order the
pattern. No working otherwise I would be doing it with you.

Hi Jenn,

Since I don't knit now I can't do it, but I loved doing charted
sweaters. I don't think there is a charted Mary Maxim sweater that I
didn't make. I enjoyed doing that more then just a plain one color
sweater.

Hugs,

Nora

Actually I did two color knitting quite early in my knitting life (in
the 1950's for nieces and nephews) so don't hesitate. There is only
one tricky part and that is to pay attention to how you bring in the
new color so that there isn't a gap created. Does the pattern have you
carry the second color or use different balls of color as you go? It
looks from the picture like it is probably the later (intarsia style)
which I find the easiest. You just want to make sure that the
different color yarns wrap around each other once at the joint so that
it looks like a continuous fabric. (Someone else can probably describe
it better) Otherwise this kind of knitting is really easy because
other than color changes, the patterns are usually basically just a
simple stockinette.
