Elemental Boatneck
Interweave released their Summer 2009 preview today. The issue hits newstands May 5. I designed the Elemental Boatneck using Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy, one of my favorite yarns.
Finished Size 34 (38, 42, 46, 50)” bust circumference. Sweater measures 38″, modeled with plenty of positive ease.
Yarn Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy (41% cotton, 34% hemp, 25% modal; 154 yd [142 m]/50 g): #017 vivid green, 6 (6, 7, 8, 9) skeins. Yarn distributed by Knitting Fever.
Needles Size 4 (3.5 mm): 16″ and 26″ circulars (cir). Size 3 (3.25 mm): 26″ cir and set of double-pointed (dpn). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions Markers (m); waste yarn or stitch holders; tapestry needle.
Gauge 24 sts and 38 rnds/rows = 4″ in linen st on larger needle; 24 sts and 27 rows = 4″ in lace patt on larger needle.

Wow – beautiful. I have been wanting a simple sweater to wear for work, and really want to try Hempathy – both together – Perfect!

I’m de-lurking to say that I love love love this pattern. I was really drawn to it in the preview and psyched to see that it was your pattern. I don’t usually buy IK for just one pattern, but I’ll be making an exception this time.

I have completed the body and will cast on for the sleeves over the weekend. I love the look of this top. I have had no questions about the instructions except for my initial inquiry about the chart errors. Thanks for a great pattern.
I noticed that IK has not posted the corrections to both charts – only the twisted rib corrections was made. I just emailed them again.
