Yay, it's finally done. Full details are up on my blog, but here's how it turned out.The eleventy million ends nearly did me in, but it was worth it. This is a warm and cozy sweater that is going to get a lot of wear.

Did you ever notice that it's really hard to find the perfect red sweater? I love red, so I always keep my eye open when I'm out shopping. Sadly, none of the red sweaters I find are ever quite right. Perhaps I'm fussy? Regardless, this is one of the things I love about being a knitter. I don't have to search endlessly for the perfect red sweater, I can just make myself one! Of course,

Hi! I'm new to the KAL, but I love me a good red sweater so I look forward to seeing everyone's completed projects!Surprisingly, even though red is one of my favourite colours, this is my first hand knitted red sweater. It's the Ski Jacket from Veronik Avery's "Knitting Classic Style", and I'm knitting it out of Lopi in "happy red". This is my first colourwork project as well, and I've just

Well - the red version of the White Gansey is languishing unfinished in the knitting bag, but I have been busy as a bee on the Viridescent Diamond Cardigan - a Norah Gaughan pattern from an old Classic Elite book. I am doing it in Simply Shetland Lambswool and Cashmere in color Red Hot, which is a gorgeous rich red with a subtle tweedy look and feel. Yummy.More pics on the Blog -

This is the beginning of my red Karabella Cabled Yoke Cardigan. I started it on December 31 or January 1. At this point, I've finished the body except for the yoke, and have completed one sleeve as far as the yoke. The yarn is Briar Rose "Charity", the same yarn that Anne used for David's Christmas sweater. The color is a dark cranberry red--about the same as the "Abundance" shown on the Briar

Hi - I'm new to the KAL. I've just started my red sweater, the Cinnabar Pullover by Kate Gilbert in Interweave Knits, Fall 2007. Karabella Margrite is the absolutely yummy yarn that was called for, and I decided to use it. I almost never do that, but this was too nice to pass up. I've actually started 2 red sweaters, but this is the first one that I'll finish. (The other is the popular "

I'm happy to be a member of Red Sweater KAL. I really love the color red and just for now I have two projects in red yarn.1. A red moebius shawl in Garnstudio's Silke-Tweed and Vivaldi (mohair). I think I finish it tonight because it's not much left.2. My next knit project is a Sadie cardigan in red Silky wool from Elsebeth Lavold.I let you know how I progress.

I actually finished it a few months ago but was waiting for the right buttons!This isn't a very good picture, but was snapped early in the morning after dressing for work, but it is RED, a Knit Picks Alpacha and Silk yarn, and Jean Frost jacket design. I altered the pattern by adding bust darts. I'm very pleased with the fit -except that I wish the sleeves were a "tad" longer - maybe a full inch.

Hi! I'm "Ai ferri corti" (that literally means "short needles", i.e. needles that were used for socks knitting in Italy) and I'm from Italy. First of all I would like to thank Anne and Laura for inviting me to join to this wonderful KAL. I'm very happy about it because... I'm knitting a red sweater (mohair by Bertagna Filati in the picture) and because I have the possibility to learn (a lot) from

Hi everyone! I am excited to join this KAL for 3 reasons.1) I love red! It is most definitely my favorite color.2) I love knitting!3) I have nothing in my wardrobe that is red and hand knit.Therefore, I must join although I have 6 WIPs and at least 30 projects waiting in my stash closet. Since none of those projects were red, I had to go buy more stash! Which I love doing about as much as

Hi everyone. Thanks for inviting me to join this KAL. I'm casting on this 'Ink Flared Sweater' tomorrow, in a deep red yarn. It's a free pattern available on the Black Dog Designs website.Although I've many WIPs at the moment, I hope to get this jumper knitted over this month while watching the Rugby World Cup on television!

Actually, I finished over a week ago but I haven't had a chance to take photos and blog about it. I ran out of yarn for the shawl collar so I went with just a ribbed edge. It's not ideal, but I still like the sweater. Plus, I'm trying to stash-bust and so I didn't want to go buy MORE yarn just for that. Overall, I think I'll get lots of use out of this sweater when it finally cools down around

Just wanted to pop in to say that after a brief hiatus I am back to the red cabled cardigan. I am now done with the back, both sides of the front, one sleeve, and about halfway done with the second sleeve. After that it's just a matter of blocking, stiching and doing the collar/button-band which I plan to do in one piece. The pattern calls for a separate button band and collar, but I figured I

I've have cast on my red sweater, it is Isabella. I have completed the first row of eyelets on the back. I am really liking the look of the fabric but have never knit a top on such small needles with such fine yarn. I think it is going to take longer than I first anticipated but am hoping it will be worth it. The photo is that great as I am using straight short needles. I much prefer using circs

I'm so pleased that I finished this because I usually enjoy stranded knitting and this lace was hard. I had to revert to being a knitting student again complete with ripped out portions, etc.Now I can concentrate on my favorite kind of knitting. Stranded color work... another Dale of Norway baby sweater for the same grandchild.You can see that one on my new and under-construction blog.

I'm about 10 repeats away from separating for the sleeves so that I can increase on the chest area.This is my first time knitting wity Blue Sky Dyed cotton---

After I stumbled across the KAL red sweater blog June 1, I thought that it would motivate me to begin this new sweater for my granddaughter that I had been procrastinating. While I love stranded color work knitting, I have only knit one or two lace items. Both were quite simple and completed with great difficulty. That was several years ago and I have been avoiding lace ever since. But, time

Looking back, I thought I had already posted pair 20, but realized that I ran out of time the other day.Pair 20 -Is medium weight Fire on the Mountain from STR. Just a simple 4/1 rib over 65 stitches on 2,5 mm needles.Pair 21 -Victorian Lace from the 6 Sox KAL are finished. Since I am not planning on wearing these with sandals, I ended the lace partway down the top of the sock and finished it

I knit the Medallion Cardigan pattern by Meg Swansen from her book Knitting. The original pattern is in white and black. Me? of course I had to make it Red!The inside of the cardi just to show my strands.More detail in my blog. I am in love with this one!

I eventually could log to blogger and can post again. As said in my previous post, this time some bright red sweater. The original is yellow (mustard) and taken from a Rebecca magazine. It's knitted 2 years ago in a synthetic fiber, but has a soft smooth touch...I love it. The back is same as front but less deeper. I still have enough of that yarn to knit something else...lucky,lucky. I didn't

This sweater knit up so quickly that I didn't get around to posting any progress photos at all! This was started as a project to use up 4 100g skeins of DK acrylic that I bought a couple of years ago and had never gotten around to using. I was looking for a casual top that I would wear often and be happy to throw in the washer.Pattern: Lola, free pattern from BeroccoYarn: James Brett Marble,

I started my red sweater a couple years ago. Its mostly stocking stitch and I got bored real fast. So it became a lovely UFO. Id spy it hiding in a drawer now and then but never really felt like pickign it up. THen I found this KAL and thought, hey, I can finish that thing. The yarn (Homepsun stuff from Lion Brand) is soft and cozy, so Im looking forward to wearing it!When I got all the peices

I have just finished a red version of Cottage Creation's "Wonderful Wallaby" using Mission Falls 1824 wool (color #29, "Raspberry").This is the second of two Wallabies, knit as gifts for a friend's boy/girl twins. It is the first time that I have used 1824 wool for anything more than a hat or mittens, and I loved it. I will definately be using this yarn again.

I am pleased to have finished my second red sweater. It is the perfect weight for Autumn in Melbourne. We get warm days (not too hot) often with beautiful clear skies and cooler evenings (but not too cold). It really is the best time.The pattern is the Sand Dollar Pullover from Norah Gaughan's book 'Knitting Nature' (apologies to aunt nancy for the delay in providing the source). The yarn is

Hi fellow knitters,I am Swiss and French and love knitting (I do have other crafts as hobby such as cross stitch, quilting and sewing, but this one is the one I mostly practice).A couple of years ago I decided I had enough of green, black and grey in my wardrobe and thought I needed something at the opposite...on the colour wheel...RED.So I knitted a couple of red sweaters.The one I present today

Remember that Chinese Red Vest I mentioned that was going to be my red sweater project? It had been languishing since 2004.I picked it up this morning and started to knit, first completing the fronts, then the back to finish up the main body of the vest. And then came time to bind off the shoulders.Fighting to stay free, the stitches kept jumping off the needles when I wasn’t looking. Taking a

I finally managed to get some photos of my red sweater.Original design, in vintage Bear Brand Town and Country (bought on eBay), 100% wool, 2 ply, DK weight, used approximately 12 oz. This was my first attempt at sweater design from scratch. I'm happy with how it turned out overall, but as I suspected early on, it turned out too big for me. Rather than start over, I decided to push on with it,

So, this evening, while watching Dancing with the Stars, my favorite guilty pleasure, I finished knitting my second Gingerbread Baby Sweater. This one is for my friend Elise's new baby, which isn't due until April something-or-other. I can't wait to surprise her with it this Friday!Also, I actually figured out how to post a two-page pattern to blogger! It's a long, involved process which I will

I had a vision of myself wearing Norah Gaughan's pentagon pullover on the beach this summer, but it wasn't to be. Autumn in Melbourne is very mild and lovely, so it might still get an outing - if I can just get through the finishing. Almost there...

My little red cardigan is just about done. I have a few more ends to weave in, and I need to go button shopping this evening. It has been languishing in my UFO pile for a long time, but I'm on a roll this week. Three finished sweaters, all started months ago. It feels good to finish up a bunch of stuff and to be able to start fresh and guilt-free on new things! Action shots to come soon.

I have this lovely red vest, called Chines Red from Folk Vests that I started a while ago. A medium size while ago (2004) when I look at the ages of various UFOs that are hidden around in boxes and bags.Admittedly, it doesn't look like much in the picture, but it should not take me all that long to get it finished. That is if I can crank up the courage to do it.While I was deployed, some small

I started the red shrug for my pregnant friend Abby several weeks ago, after a vision of her cute preggo belly sticking out beneath it spurred me on.I got halfway through the back, started the pattern for the "random heart" and then realized I had only increased on ONE side instead of BOTH sides. :-( I didn't handle it very well. I'll admit it-- I cussed, I screamed. I threw the sweater down. It

My red sweater is coming along slowly. I've finished the fronts and back. Am working on the sleeves at present. I did some short row bust darts for the front, using Maggie Righetti's book on sweater design to work out the way to do the darts. The pattern for this jacket was slightly off after finishing the darts, but I think they will work. I'll post a picture at a later date. Here is the

Well, I finally decided on a pattern and cast on for my (first) red sweater. It's the Shawl Collared Cardigan from the December 2006/January 2007 Knitnet. The pattern calls for Wool-Ease Chunky, but I'm using Lamb's Pride Bulky that I got a great deal on from the Sheep Shed Studio. I've modified the instructions to do the sweater in one piece up to the underarms, since I hate seaming, and I

I have picked up my Debbie Bliss Circular Cardigan and actually have made some good progress on it. I have 528 stitches on the needle, and the Alpaca Silk is slippery on the Addis, so I need to be careful when I put this baby down. I intend to do some serious knitting on the sweater this week, so pictures will be forth coming.Anne, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

It really has taken far longer than anticipated (isn't that always the case when we excitedly match yarn with pattern and cast on with high hopes?) I've frogged and sworn and worked and calculated. I got the back of the Celtic Vest done finally, and thought the fronts would be a piece of cake, but NOT SO.I admit it was probably a mistake to work on the complicated motif sections during the

After dragging my feet for a while, I finally have a finished sweater. It only took three months for me to actually decide what it was I was going to knit and another two to even get started.I hope you enjoy.

I am making the raglan decreases on the back of Celtic Icon. It seems to be knitting up quickly and the cabling is easy to remember. I am enjoying this sweater more than the original one I started.

Hi, I haven't posted here since I finished my Travelling Cables Cardigan but I thought I would post a picture of the socks I made out of the Socka yarn I won way back in December on Laura's birthday. They are the Child's French Sock from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks. Very comfy and pretty. (More info on my blog). I thought about gifting a friend with these socks but I think I am going to

The Jean Frost jacket is coming along. I have finished the back and started the left front. Here's the progress although the color isn't particularly good. I think the knitted fabric will be just what I wanted. I'm planning to short row bust darts into the fronts of the jacket, since I am larger busted than I wish I was.

Almost done with the first pattern section of the Red Gansey. Using Lisa Souza's garnet sport weight and am really enjoying this yarn. It does bleed a bit and the red fingers were slightly shocking before I figured out what was going on!

Those of you who have been with this KAL from the start may recall my lofty plans for a sweater, which then dwindled down to a simple felted vest when I found myself not loving the yarn I selected. Well, I got about 85% through the vest and simply hated it. It's been draped over the back of a chair for ages now. I keep thinking that one day I'll be inspired to finish it, but that's looking

Gosh, it's so long since I posted that I must nearly have been posted missing, so to speak. Blame Christmas, blame holidays, blame my over-tendency to fall in love with new projects every couple of days. Oh and blame all those other webloggers who keep bringing exciting ideas to my attention.OK, blame apportionment over. Oh no it isn't! I wanted to post here a couple of nights ago and what did I

Well I started to make the Eris Cardigan but it wasn't doing anything for me so I put the knitting down. I then saw the zip up cable hoodie in Kintpicks catalog and decided to do that one. That meant I had to order the Inspired Cable Knits book. It came this week and I just love the book. I guess I am in love with cables. I started on the hoodie and it is going much better than the first one.

Hi, I'm just joining the RSKAL as of today! Actually consider myself a member for the last week, since I chose the yarn and pattern. I wanted it to be more like a jacket so I chose a pattern from my Jean Frost Jackets book. Here is a scanned photo from the book. I chose to work with Elegance from Knit Picks in the color Barn Red. This yarn is 70%Baby Alpaca and 30% Silk, soft with a bit of

My red sweater was last seen partially complete and blocking while I fretted about it not living up to my expectations. When it finshed blocking it was a little wonky but totally fixable. I went ahead and made one strap. Then I got severly distracted with knitting holiday gifts. After the holidays I was badly distracted by yarn I recieved as a holiday gift. Finally I got around to making the

Here is the front of the sweater. Not sure if you can see the detail in the pattern...but the photo should be clickable...I still have to figure out how to block it...but, I'll worry about all that when I get the sleeves done.

Hello everyone :-)I've finally got around to carding some of the wool for my red ski sweater. So far I have done 400g of Oatmeal Bluefaced Leicester 75% with Tussah silk 25%, there is some more to follow, but this is enough to get me started.Here it is.Over the next few weeks I will spin this into yarn and dye it deep garnet (burgundy), after that I will card the wool for the scarlet yarn. It is

Of course, it's not the most exciting pic on the planet - 4" of ribbing & stockinette! LOL But I did learn the Channel Island Cast on, which is kinda cool & I am pleased, it's coming right along. The pattern calls for 4 1/2" of plain knitting before starting the stitch bands, so I still have another couple inches of mindless knitting. I am using it to practice continental! The yarn is very

well, what was supposed to be a fixing session ended up at 5 am being a frogging session - its a long story but it involved ripping the side seams of Chic Knits Ariann which were too tight across my hips as I had done the decreases (for waist shaping) but made the sweater longer and thus the highlighting of the worst part of the bod.so all the yarn is rewound including one ball with two row

Finally wrapped up all the late Christmas presents and got to get started on something for me! Abandoned the original idea (Bristow in Karoke) and decided to do the "White Gansey" (pic here -http://www.joslynsfiberfarm.com/whitegansey.htm) by Beth Brown-Reinsel. I am doing it sport weight from Lisa Souza - color is garnet. http://www.lisaknit.com/yarn/animalfibers/superwash-sport.htm Learned

Thank you for the inspiration, Red Sweater KAL. My youngest son asked for an Ohio State hoodie, and here's his new Wonderful Wallaby (you can get this tried-and-true pattern at paradisefibers.net). He's been wearing his Wallaby nonstop since it came off the needles -- best compliment ever! The yarn is ranch red, washable Lion Brand Wool-Ease (OK, all you died-in-the-wool fiber people can faint

I just heard from one of our members... After she upgraded her account to the New Blogger, she was no longer a member of the Red Sweater KAL (it no longer showed up on her dashboard). If this has happened to you, please let either Anne or I know, and we can send you a new invitation so you can sign up again.

I met Debbie Bliss this week, tried on several of her sweaters and this girl has a new red sweater up on needles. (Dear swing coat, I will come back to you I promise!) I am knitting the Circular Cardigan in red Alpaca Silk DK, color 26005 from the Out of Town Book. This yarn is lucious, and this is a quick knit so I hope to have pictures very soon. It's basically a circular shawl with sleeves.

For those still looking for a little inspiration, I thought I'd post a shot of this sweater I received as a Christmas gift. It's store bought, but don't you love the yoke? It's giving me the urge to do some colourwork.

We are now on the new Blogger format. You will need to update your account, or so I'm told, before you're able to post here.Hope the move goes well for everyone. I just moved 3 blogs, and it seems to have worked out just fine. It moved over my custom templates, and everything. I think. LOL

I know its not much of an action shot but here she is being modelled. The specifics of this project are: Travelling Cables Cardigan from Karabella that I used some nature spun from my stash to knit. There has been some interest in where I got my pattern from so here is the link. There are more pictures of her on my blog if you are interested. And there is a travelling cables KAL if you care to

This is my red sweater in it's current state. 2 Sleeves and a body, check. Now I need to put them on one circ and finally decide on raglan versus yoke, polo collar versus crewneck. I tend to raglan with polo, but am still not quite sure how to proceed.

I made an American Girl sized red sweater, which is the first of two red sweaters I plan on, the second will be made from red Cherry Tree Hill Potluck in a heavy worsted, or some cotton and acrylic blend I have in my stash. One of those two will be started as soon as I find a pattern I like.The Doll sweater being admired by Ducky.

Worn here by my neighbor, Eve, is a new deep rose sweater, my own design in Cascade's Cloud 9, a 50/50 merino/angora in a worsted weight. I chose a deep rose red to match the Russian shawl. Because this is a flattering sweater, I'm trying to work the pattern out in multiple sizes.The second sweater, from an Annabel Fox design published long ago in VK, is by my student, Marsheila, who substituted

My Travelling Cables Cardigan is all done. She's steamed and seamed! She fits well but I had no one around to take a picture. Maybe over the week-end I will be able to get an action photo outside so her true color shows. She is a Christmas red, what I think of as "real" red. I will put up a button detail on my blog. I was happy to find buttons with celtic looking cables on them. Now I can start
