Hi, I’m looking for yarn for a sweater – the pattern calls for 10 balls of Valley Yarns Berkshire (85% wool, 15% alpaca, 100 grams, 141 yards) and size 10 (6 mm needles) – I’m wondering if you have an alpaca/wool mix that’s really soft that would work? Thanks, Aine
Hello I am knitting the Atherton Boys Hoodie Top down pattern. I am having trouble at the joining of the sweater to form the placard. The first 7 stitches of each row are garter stitch once the hood is completed. The pattern calls for joining the piece after 4 inches doing the raglan on the RS:
Work next RS row as instructed above to the last 7, p7, join to work in the round p7 to marker…..Note Purling rather than knitting the last 7 its of the final row minimizes the jog in the center.. Then the pattern says to do the garter stitch on those 14 sets My problem is that once I purled those 14 sts, on the initial joining row the stitches become stockinette. I know I am reading something incorrectly. I have taken to purling those 14 stitches to get the garter effect, but it isn’t quite right. Can you please advise. Thank you.

Hi Adam,
I’m afraid I’m not taking any custom orders right now. perhaps someone at Ravelry.com the social network for knitters?

Interested in having you make a cardigan.

Sorry Jonathan, I am not doing any custom work at this time.
There is a social site for knitters at Ravelry.com perhaps you might find someone there?
