I’ve done stripes with this thing, so I’ve modified it. Also, to get the proper gauge, because I knit comparatively loosely, I went down to the 1x six (XL vs. XXL) and kept with the length for the largest size. So far it’s working.alt text

Well, it’s finally done - I crocheted a button and button-hole band in the rose/red linen double stranded and I was very happy with the result - tended to stabilize the sweater somewhat. It’s a very lightweight sweater, and I really like it.
