Baltasound - Finished Shots

I'm so pleased with how the Baltasound Cropped Jumper turned out. It certainly is "cropped!"

Baltasound - Done - Front

Baltasound - Done - Side

Baltasound - Done - Back

The facing was somewhat fiddly at both the beginning and the end, but the edges really are worth it!

Baltasound - Done - Collar

Baltasound - Done - cuff-hem

The underarm "seam," with the plain green center stitch, turned out really lovely after the blocking.

Overall, a great project! Yay!

On to Roscalie...

Happy Knitting,

Hi, Lisa Kay (if you are still there),

I wonder if you can answer a question about knitting your beautiful!!!! Baltasound Cropped Jumper. I've had issues interpreting the designer's instructions and fear I've tried her patience asking her questions. So I turn to you. I'm currently knitting it and am at the point of picking up stitches for the first sleeve. Ann (the designer) says "...[D]uplicating the pattern of the adjacent sts in the body (the pickup rnd is rnd 34 of the chart), pick up and knit 66 sts...." When I pick up sts they duplicate the adjacent sts, but they DON'T match the pattern in round 34. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you in advance!!!

Regarding your beautiful!!!! job knitting Baltasound Cropped Jumper:

I am knitting it and am at the point of picking up stitches for the first sleeve. Ann (the designer) says "...[D]uplicating the pattern of the adjacent sts in the body (the pickup rnd is rnd 34 of the chart), pick up and knit 66 sts...." When I pick up sts they duplicate the adjacent sts, but they DON'T match the stitch pattern in round 34. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm asking you because I fear I've tried the patience of Ann Feitelson, the designer because I've had to ask her a couple of questions about this sweater and several questions when I knitted a previous design of hers.)

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can offer. I'm at my wit's end.

I don't know what you mean that "they don't match the stitch pattern." The stitches will look slightly odd because of being sideways instead of up and down. (The "V's" point perpendicularly to the body.) However, if you persevere with the pattern, it works out. I'm not sure what else to say.
