Cathi's comments ~ There you go....that should keep you all busy for a few days. Aren't you glad you started this sweater? By now you are beginning to see some progress, and that is always motivating. Besides that, what better way to pass these cold winter days?

Georgette KAL Pattern by Christina Wall / Week One ~ Feb 21, 2015
Georgette By Christina Wall
Sizes:
XS (S, M, L, 1X, 2X, 3X)
Finished Measurements: chest: 28 (32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52)
Length from underarm to hem: 10 (10, 13, 13, 16, 16, 19) inches
Materials:
Alpaca With A Twist, Baby Twist, 100 % Baby Alpaca, 50g, 110 yds, 5 (6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13) skeins; 550 (660, 770, 880, 1100, 1210, 1320) yards
#9, 29” or 32” circular needle
#9, 16” circular needle or #9 DP needles
#3, 29” circular needle
4 stitch markers
2 stitch holders
2, 3” buttons
Gauge: #9 needle: 4st/5rows = 1 inch in stockinette stitch Change your needle size to obtain gauge.
Note on Yarn Substitutions:
When choosing a substitute yarn for this pattern, you should choose something that has a lot of bloom to it. Because you are knitting a DK weight yarn with a #9 needle you will want a yarn that blooms and fills out when blocked.
Designer’s Note:
Georgette is worked from the top-down, raglan style. The only finishing required is blocking and sewing on two buttons. If you are not familiar with top-down sweaters, that’s okay. This is a great sweater to learn this technique. The lace pattern is very easy – perfect for mindless knitting.
Pattern:
With US#9, 29” circular needle CO 2 (2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2), PM, 6 (7, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9) PM, 18 (20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26), PM, 6 (7, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9), PM, 2 (2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2). If you used the long-tail method of cast on, purl back.
Row 1: RS: *Work to 1 st before marker, YO, K1, SL Marker, K1, YO,* repeat from * across row.
Row 2: WS: Purl all stitches, including the yarn overs.
Repeat these two rows 17 (20, 22, 25, 27, 29, 32) more times for a total of 36 (42, 46, 52, 56, 60, 66) rows. Total stitches should now count, 178 (206, 223, 248, 268, 287, 312).
Divide Sleeves & Body:
Work across to 1st marker, remove marker, slip all stitches up to 2nd marker on a stitch holder. Remove 2nd marker, CO 4 (6, 6, 7, 10, 14, 18) stitches, work across to 3rd marker. Remove 3rd marker, slip all stitches up to 4th marker on a stitch holder, remove 4th marker. CO 4 (6, 6, 7, 10, 14, 18). Work across to end. The sleeve stitches are now on holders to be worked later.
Work in stockinette stitch until piece measures 4 – 7 inches from armhole to needles. Ideally you want the lace to begin below your bust line. This is different for everyone so try it on and see how it fits!
