Bridie:
There are errors on the left front piece. I know that some people have successfully made this cardigan, presumably by following their intuition about the shaping, but the instructions for the left front shaping should read like this (changes shown in bold):
Cont from Row 2 in lattice pattern as set.
Taking new sts into pattern (except last stitch of each row (selvedge st)), inc 1 st at beg of 9th (RS) and each foll 10th row until there are 44 [48: 50: 54: 56: 60] sts.
Next row (RS), place marker: Pattern 3 sts, place marker, pattern to end. Stitch marker will show you how many stitches you have increased at underarm edge (3 so far).
Cont in pattern, increasing at beg of each 10th row until there are 7 sts to right of marker.
AT THE SAME TIME: When work meas 26.5 [26.5 : 28: 28: 29: 29] cm (10.5 [10.5: 11: 11: 11.5: 11.5 inches), start shaping left front neck (etc from pattern)

any chance of being able to buy the bridie pattern? even the old version? I missed it the first time around and I really think it's quite lovely.

Yes, please! Can you put any version of Birdie back up for sale. I love your patterns and am waiting with baited breath!

I just read your post about ancestors. i often think about how little i know about my family and how sad it is when the people who could fill you in are gone. i have tons of questions and i realize that i may never know the answers!
neat about your great grandfather and the sword....

Love your blog, miss reading it.

To echo Iris, I also love your blog and eagerly anticipate your next post.
PS: The yarn was specially dyed for me here in Australia (at my request) as I wasn't able to source Opal's Zebra and I sooo wanted to 'copy' your jaywalkers! x

Really enjoy reading your blog. Look forward to being able to knit Bridie when it becomes available next year -or sooner? :)

This is a bit tenuous, but seeing as a) you once recommended India Knight's shopping book, and b) Points 3 and 7 on your profile, you might enjoy India's new blog...
