Is anyone knitting the Cornwallis? How's it going?
Is anyone knitting the Cornwallis? How's it going?
I am so happy with this sweater! Too bad Lois the mannequin is a little too petite. Will post a pic with me in the sweater later!
I loved your sweater so much it is now in my queue! Glad I didn't start it yet as your tutorial on the edging was very helpful. I have never been a big fan of rolled edges, so I was delighted to see your alternative. Thank you so much.
The fabric is so nice to wear. I did go down a needle size to get a bit denser fabric than the pattern called for. I made the next size up to compensate for the tighter gauge.
I was inspired!! I wasn't planning on knitting myself a sweater, but after I saw Kim's sweater, how could I not cast on?
I also wanted a turned up hem. So, I started with a provisional cast on, knitted 12 rows of white and 4 rows of blue-gray, turned under the hem and knitted it to the fabric.
I'm pretty excited about this project. I'm using Berroco Modern Cotton and I'm thinking it will work just fine.

You'll love it!
Making progress. I just hope I have enough blue yarn 🙄
@Jennifer Fairfax Is that all of the blue you have left? 😮 Is that the second sleeve? If you think you are only going to be a stripe or 2 short for the blue, I did see some really nice examples on Ralvery where the knitter inserted a stripe of another colour on one sleeve or randomly inserted a stripe of the top colour in the sleeve lower down. It looked really cool, but the inspiration probably came from a yarn chicken situation. Check out those projects.
@Kim Doherty-Smith I ended up finding and buying another skein of blue yarn. I was about 4 inches short on each sleeve. I almost started again to make a 3/4 sleeve.
I finished the Cornwallis tonight. Finally. I put it on. My husband entered the room. He says, "Waldo! I found you. Where have you been?" 😧
@Jennifer Fairfax Kinda' funny but I call "boo" on that comment! it's all about the stripes for me! I LOVE them!
@Kim Doherty-Smith It is no longer a Cornwallis, I now call it my "Where's Waldo" sweater.
@Jennifer Fairfax Ha!
@Jennifer Doherty I just finished my Cornwallis and love it! There are so many gorgeous color combinations that I may have to do another! Thanks for calling this pattern to my attention, Kim. 
@Lori Flaglor That turned out beautifully. Love the detail around the neck. I might make another one too. I love mine! Kim
