I have figured it out.

I am now doing the front and hope to have this done on the weekend. Then to work on the sleeves.

I am having problems with the decreases.

I am doing the small size. When I am done the set up rows to go back to the lace I have the correct amounts 103 stitches. When I finished row 2 of the lace decrease, i have 105 Stitches. What am I doing wrong?

Cora

It's Done!

It's done!!!!



My Cherie Amour is finished, and I really like it. I was concerned with the armholes being too tight, but after I wore it for an hour, they loosened up and felt fine.



It fits great, and I got a ton of compliments on it at work. There were a few pattern issues I wish I had known about, but I guess that's what I get for being one of the early group of knitters.

It's a great fit, great sweater, and I'll definitely be making it again in different colors.

Sleeves

Has anyone else noticed the sleeves being both long and tight? I finished seaming mine last night, and the sleeve seams are super tight--they actually have to hit on my upper arm, rather than my shoulder to fit--and the sleeve themselves are too long.

I really don't want to rip it out and do it again, but I might have to.

My update...I have pictures.

Here they are. Hope you like them.

Well, I am back on track.

I got kicked into the bedroom as my husband needed to finish laying the laminate. I am back to where I had ripped out my Cherie Amour, so hopefully I will have more done and soon.

On the sown side I think I broke my baby toe. I walked into the bedroom and straight into the broken wheel on the metal bed frame that we have for our queen size bed. I really hurts and there is nothing that they can do for a broken toe, other than ice and elevation which is what I did. It is turning all kinds of pretty colors. The bright side is I get o knit more.

Guess what happened to me lastnight?

Have you ever had one of those D'Oh with head slap moments? Well I did lastnight. I was working merrily along, just about done the waist ribbing, when I decide to look at the pattern to find out how many rows of ribbing I have left. I missed the knit row where the decreases happen. So I am sitting chairing this meeting and thinking, okay I can rip back to the lace part and get the lacy area back on the needles, right? WRONG! Arg, I had to rip all the way back to the beginning.

My husband the loving man that he is rewound the 2 balls of yarn, yes that is how much work I had done on it, I cast on again last night and it is going smoothly, again.

I guess it works best if you read the instructions. D'oh (head slap)!
