My mission… Klaralund July 17, 2007
So, I’m back and blogging. Well at least for the last 16 hours or so. To bring you up to speed. I’m still obsessed with dogs and knitting. Hence the title kibbles-n-knits. I’m obsessed probably more with the acquisition of yarn more than anything. A friend/”pusher of obsessions” has me a bit side tracked on the idea of sewing… but once again, I’m probably more obsessed with searching for fabric. But I have a new quest in addition to all previous quests…
Klaralund!
I must possess this pattern and the yarn. I love Silk Garden and Stripes! Google it, you will love it too. I know, I know. All you experienced knitters have already see and/or done this sweater. Everyone else google it and fall in love. Now those of you who know me might ask…
Q: What about that other project you are doing with Silk Garden? Are you going to finish it?
A: Yes and soon, so I need another.
Q: Don’t you have a house full of yarn?
A: Be quiet or I will stip blogging again.
Anyway… anyone knitted this sweater before? I’ve found lots of post on it, but was wondering if any of the 2 knitters that read this site had come across it.
WELL MISSY! It’s about time. I started looking for this pattern but am not sure if I found the right thing. The example I saw was in really deep blues - very pretty!

I want one like this or a GREEN one!!
Lovely sweater, Elizabeth. A friend of mine knit one a year or 2 ago and was very happy with it. You’re really in love with Noro yarns…
Yanno, I expect a magnificent fair post, right?
I will, but it is hard… NOT having been there.
You could just go to my blog where I feature the Grand one herself!
Klaralund…the only thing I have heard is the shoulder/neck thing. Donna S knit on, I will email her about it on E’vil Knitters.
Congratulations on the Grand Champion! Your sweater is beautiful and you did a great job on it. Haven’t been there yet myself, but I’ll get there tonight and will check it out.
You are now moderating my comments? Hmmm. I did want to mention Poppy from Yarn Play. we got the book in this week. It might be an option to Klaralund. Take a look when you get a chance.
