Winter has finally hit Chicago (yeah, I live in Joliet, but I'm a Chicagoan at heart). Perhaps this is why I have re-caught the knitting bug and am flying along on Liv. I really do like the Silky Wool and highly recommend it!
Here is a pretty lousy picture that was supposed to give you an idea of the texture and color variations in the Sily Wool when it's knit up. The sweater is mostly reverse stockinette.
And at this point I would like to say a huge "Thank You!!" to Pubah for sending me the corrections to Liv. You have saved me a huge headache and I appreciate it!
Here are the corrections for anyone who needs them:
Liv, Front p.28 An * is missing -- The text for Shape left side of neck, WS should read "*Work 3 sts...".
Right side of neck should be worked as the left, reversing all shaping.
The neckband should read: Cast on 1 st at shoulder side...
And I *finally* found Elsebeth Lavold's website. A huge portion is in English and it's rather interesting to browse through. There is even a bit about the Knitting Along the Viking Trail Exhibit.
Julie, what size needles are you using on the Silky Wool? I bought some of this yarn to make Cul-de-sac and got gauge with 4s but I thought the fabric was too loose for a vest. Its also so soft that it begs to be worn next to the skin instead of as a vest--so I'm thinking I'd love to do one of her sweaters now. Can't wait to see more!

Oops, saw that you are using 6s on the WIPs page. :)

Julie... I bought the same color Silky Wool to make the same sweater. I've got my gauge swatch started... I told myself I had to finish a couple other projects first, though. Thanks for the corrections!
