Tiffany Hansen When in April are we starting this CAL? ;) thanks. Thinking of when I need to make my yarn swatch and decide on which yarn I'm going to use. 

Thanks Tiffany Hansen one friend today recommended that maybe I should add a chord to it and that might help with the shoulder situation.

Very Beautiful!! Great job! :)

Tiffany Hansen thanks. Some of the yarn I'm considering using just arrived.  Herrschners has a tweed yarn I was looking at but it's a DK weight and possibly too thin but I did order their Heathers yarn and I ordered some brava tweed which is really nice. I've used it before.

I had to rush off and continue doing my work training and try to finish this test pattern for this sweater which has taken forever to make.. I missed the deadline and the designer hasn't replied back to my last question to her from last week...sigh.  Thanks for your help. I haven't made a gauge swatch yet since I just ordered one of the yarns I was thinking about possibly using but that yarn might be too thin.

Tiffany Hansen I was looking at the pattern last week trying to decide what yarn I would use for this and the sizing/measurements for this cardigan seem very big when I looked at their schematic. I do see that it says one size fits most. I have a cardigan-sweater commercially made that is the same type of design which I really like and I measured it.  The width was the same at 60" but the length I think it said 39" which for me is really long since I'm short, 5'2".  The measurement of the length of my store bought waterfall sweater is 30" so I would like to make this where it's not super long on me, past or at my knees and also crochet fabric tends to stretch as well. I was looking at the pattern briefly and I didn't see where exactly I would modify it for the overall length.  I was hoping since you already started it and have spent more time with the pattern that you would know and could tell us/help us out.  I was thinking it might be the starting chain length but I wasn't really sure.  Thanks
