"I did knit it, it did not turn out. I suspect a few things are wrong with the pattern, first one is that the designer may intend it to be worked in the round, no where in the actual pattern does it specify this information, secondly the designer never actually specifies which yarn or how much to use, looking at the pictures it appears to be single strand, however that is not sufficient to complete the project in the picture, she does say chunky yarn, however some people refer to "chunky" yarn as actual chunky yarn, super bulky yarn and even jumbo weight yarn this way. She does reference arm knitting several times, but it is definitely not arm knit but the other projects she mentions are arm knit. I just came into 50 balls of Wool Ease thick and quick in fisherman color, I think I will try it again with the yarn doubled, to see if I can make this pattern work or use her pattern as a base to write my own pattern for it."

"The sweater is knit flat, the circulars are used to accommodate the large number of stitches, it is not worked in the round, so it should be all right even for people who "hate" circular needles. They just haven't made straight needles that can hold over 200 stitches on them."

"K1B in knitting is the abbreviation for knit 1 below, but this pattern is using it for knit through the backloop, to do this, go into the backloop of the stitch on the needle and knit the stitch as you usually would from that position, if it is not coming out twisted you are knitting the stitch from the wrong position. To ensure you do it correctly, ensure you are going into the stitch from the back only. Hope this helps, happy knitting."
