New here!
Hi everyone!
I´m new to this group so I thought
I´d pop in and present my self.
My name is Margaretha and I
live in Sweden. 41 years old
and at the moment I study
to become a gardener.
I´ve started to knit Elizabeth I from
Tudor Roses and I´ve almost made
the back when I discovered that
it got to big. Sigh!
So now I´m frogging.....
I´ve choosen an swedish yarn,
a mix with cotton and acrylic
wich is soft and perfect for a
summer sweater.
I´ll start all over again with
some other needles and
hopefully it´ll turn out better ;)
I´m knitting on Aberlady too
but that´s on hold right now.
Here´s a picture of my Eliza

Margaretha, mine is too small--we should trade! Sigh. Not fun. You've gotten so far, that's so much to rip. Just wanted to say that I feel your pain. I might just get into fixing mine (I'm thinking side panels) in the next few weeks. We'll see...
So pretty, and too big! Yikes.
Or too small. I'm crossing my fingers on mine. (gauge? what? what? I can't hear you! lalalalala.
Margaretha, welcome to the group!
Ouch, I feel your pain! I think you are doing the right thing, though. It will turn out better the second round.
I checked the dimension of Eli I. I am hoping to knit this sometime this year. The smallest size has bust circumference of 94cm. I am afraid I will be swimming in it. I would definitely need to take out some stitches to narrow the body and sleeve widths, even though it would mess up raglan shaping.
I love Aberlady, too. Which yarn are you using for it? It is knit with a very fine gauge I recall.
