I may be able to spin with Cricket’s fur but I’d have to save it for a long time. I get such a small amount each time I comb her.

Re: Holocaust Sweater

The article in the Times of Israel mentions, "Stern, who has created a pattern for an updated, adult-size version of the green sweater..." So the adult pattern exists, I just don't know where. Lucinda

Re: Holocaust Sweater
PS. The sweaters in Handy Book of Sweater Patterns are knit in pieces from the bottom-up. You can convert to in-the round. She also has a top-down sweater book.

Re: Holocaust Sweater
I don't know about pattern generators, but Ann Budd's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns could help--it includes a set-in sleeve pattern. It would mean knitting (and washing) probably a swatch in the pattern stitch and then lots of other decisions. But if you know your gauge and the sweater circumference (including ease), it's do-able.

Holocaust Sweater
Teresa Ambrose
Hi Knitsters,
A friend of mine would like to knit this sweater but there is only a childs size version available. Any ideas on how to adapt it for adult size? Like is there a pattern generator or someway to make a larger size? Here is the story of the sweater: Here is the Ravelry page: Love, Teresa

Only four people, but a good time. Three knitters and a spinner. Jane wore the reversible green sweater she had
fitted last time. Each edge (bottom, front and sleeves) had a
slightly different treatment. She cast off on a moebius cowl.
Moebius have double the stitch count of a regular cowl, and it
took foreeever to cast it off. Lucinda was knitting on two sweaters of two different thicknesses of yarn (at two different times in the meeting). Joan worked on a very spring-like green sweater - thanks, Joan, we needed the lift which the color gave us. Shelley carried on the "spinning" of our group's name: the third ply of a shades-of-brown fiber which looked wonderful on the bobbin. Lucinda showed Jane and Joan how to get started on the miniSpinner - Jane had a new-to-her mS, and Joan hasn't even taken hers out of the box yet. Conversation was desultory - no strong emotions, no politics. Just good people and good times. You know, folks, you really ought to try it here
sometime <grin>.
