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

Hi Aine, I have also sent you a more detailed email. I have a wonderfully soft Alpaca Wool hand spun yarn here.

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

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.

Nancy, I want to do the Perfect Reversible Watch Cap . It says to cast of 156 stitches for small.. I don’t know what the CO would be for Medium or Large.. Can you tell me please? Thanks.. Jackie

Hi Jackie, you haven’t found an error but the pattern uses the same number of stitches for all sizes. it is a very very stretchy fabric and will shorten slightly when stretched. Size: Adult Small (Medium, Large)
Finished Measurements: 15 inches around and 8.5 (9, 9.5) inches in length
