You are cordially invited to join me on June 20 as I knit from sunup to sundown my Fading Memories Socks to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research. There’s still time to purchase the special Fading Shadows Gradient Kit from Longmont Yarn Shoppe. For every pattern sold, I’ll donate $5 to Alzheimer’s; for every gradient kit sold, Longmont Yarn Shoppe will donate $10!

Ann, I just got my yarn (Longmont) and printed the pattern downloaded from Ravelry. Very excited to get started a bit ahead. Alas, I just realized this sock is sized for a woman’s small (medium), and I am a large. (My actual circumference is 9-1/2″, so unstretched sock 8-1/2; and my actual foot length is 10″. Will the medium work? If not, would you post an adjustment for a size Woman’s Large sock? Many thanks!
Dear Ann,
I asked my husband for your Top Down Sweater book for my anniversary gift for January, 2021 (our 47th). I have been knitting since my teens (am now 70!), but seems like I’ve mostly knitted for other people. I did not have one pullover of my own!! I determined to change that and with your book and with clearing other projects, I declared this summer as my SUMMER OF SWEATERS….with a hopeful goal of producing three, tunic-length pullovers. Regular length sweaters do not flatter me.
First, I knitted a basic crew neck tunic in a grey blue DK wool. Following your advice, the fit is perfect.
Second, I made subtle self striping, berry/grey crew tunic in Aran weight and again a perfect fit.
Now I am over half done with a simple teal crew tunic in worsted weight and its on gauge like the other two. I might just make my three sweater summer goal.
Your charts are invaluable and clearly written. It is a true joy to knit perfect sweaters every time. My confidence and understanding of my personal tension has soared with your book. Putting together those charts must have been a monumental task and I thank you for that. Thank you for playing a major part in my knitting journey!! BEST BOOK EVER!!!
Best regards from a knitting addict….Deb Sims
