Other than adding a button, I finished my first Calorimetry while watching Oprah this afternoon. (Did you see that gorgeous 70-year old woman?) For reals it took me only about 3 hours. After reading lots of feedback about how folks have adjusted the pattern, I decided to follow Shiney Red Type’s mods: 88 stitches, fewer repeats, using Malabrigo. I didn’t have any US 8s handy, so I used 7s. As far as I can tell (sans button), it’s a perfect fit. I may try it with 8s just to get a little more extra room at the end, and I may make the next one a bit wider.
What’s got me really excited is that Calorimetry and Fetching will make the perfect set for a lot of young women on my holiday list. I know, it’s just over ten months until Christmas, but I’m trying my best to be an Organized Elf!
I think the Calorimetry and Fetchings would make a great gift set too!
For reals that woman was 70? I only got to see the previews.
Great idea for gifts!
I made a Calorimetry last week – LOVE it! Can’t wait to see yours :o)
I have a few of them done except for the buttons. I need to go and dig through the button box first. And you are right that they will be perfect for the younger crowd for Christmas presents.
Hi!! Christine just sent me over to your blog, as I’m moving to West Hartford in April. Nice to ‘meet’ you!
