Not much happening in the world of knitting (or even my non-knitting world). Last night I got to the point in the Green Gable pattern where the sleeves are put onto waste yarn. I tried it on and I am pleased with the fit. I'm doing the XL/40 inch size and I'm getting 3 1/2 inches of ease. It's a little ittybit looser that I want so I may add some waist shaping. For now, I'm in the stretch of inches and inches of stockinette in the round. I leave for St. Louis at 4 am. Ugh.

I just downloaded this pattern and am off to the lys to get some yarn. I really like how this is looking! Not sure what color I'll get though...maybe an off white?
Very nice! You always find the coolest patterns =)
I have the same color yarn as you and I am in the exact same spot!!!! Mine seems a little big too ........ I love it though
Did you check the Grean Gable KAL? Someone did the math and you can see that the smaller sizes run smaller and the larger sizes run a little large. It seems like the medium knits up to the right size.
Have fun at your sister-in-law's graduation!
Great color as always Alyssa. You'll have to explain that whole EASE bit to me again. I learned some about it at STitches last year with Barry klein class, but I need to understand it better...and again.
