I just tried and retried about 3 times to start this sweater last night and gave up because I felt frazzled (and had just finished Andi's Chuck sweater so I thought I was just knitted out!) So I will try again at starting because like you I kept losing or gaining stitches all over! I wouldn't have noticed your sleeves were different at all and I do like the added length on them. Lastly, those buttons are beautiful :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519598636299080826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-26529633762473557252014-03-01T18:52:13.616+13:002014-03-01T18:52:13.616+13:00Hi Jen,

I can't find it anywhere online. I did mention it in a blog post when I started making it. (May last year *gasp*) So, it has been sitting for far too long, waiting for me to finish. Luckily I've had some time and am up to the arms now. Shouldn't be too much longer! I want it to go with one of my retro dresses for winter.<br /><br />photos posted to my fb page:<br /><br />the book:<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=503727403007649&set=pb.156888377691555.-2207520000.1393652853.&type=3&theater<br /><br />photo of the pattern:<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=620819101298478&set=a.156890987691294.27637.156888377691555&type=1&theater<br /><br />Jen :)Maudeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16899312485338084853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-4308581920018864272014-02-20T20:53:42.459+13:002014-02-20T20:53:42.459+13:00Hi, I totally took your advice and my Miette is fi...Hi, I totally took your advice and my Miette is finished, well almost, I still need to sew the buttons.

It came out so big that it didn't even fit my husband's enormous noggin. The next attempt was so small that we had to use it as a doll's beanie!

I found it a bit hard to get the bulk of the button band under my machine needle, hence why I'm not in love with the technique, but I may still do my buttonholes that way because they do look rather professional :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-42874583191145730202014-02-01T12:22:09.629+13:002014-02-01T12:22:09.629+13:00Nikki - don't be scared!

The Miette has definitely given me the confidence to try more ambitious projects. Plus I think Miette looks more complicated than it really is :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-30949832938252052422014-02-01T12:19:39.781+13:002014-02-01T12:19:39.781+13:00Hey Lizzie!

I had print-outs that I scribbled all over and used a post-it note to try to remember what row I was up too. Erm, not the most technical way to do it me thinks.<br /><br />I will definitely give Notability a go for my Aiken jumper though - thanks so much for the suggestion :)<br /><br />Also, I loved your Miette - you were wearing it when we met for dinner last year!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-48827451691513713172014-02-01T11:15:29.770+13:002014-02-01T11:15:29.770+13:00Wow, this is adorable!
