It's all coming along nicely and the plan is it will be a lovely baby cardigan - Mr SadieandLance has called it Fruit Tingles cause it reminds him of Fruit Tingles - but there's pink fruit tingles and no pink in this cardigan...anyway so I have no realised that as I am carrying the colours up one side of each piece that one of the front panels of the cardigan will have a messy edge...and that's no good. My question is...is there an easy way to convert a cardigan pattern into a simple jumper? The other consideration is I am a bit of an amatuer knitter and completely shit at maths! Any ideas?

hey - I'm happy to help if you still want it. Email me and we'll talk through the particulars, and I'll organise a pattern altering thing.
Hey there - loving the colour combination. You should be able to fudge it so the colours carry up the seamed edge of both sides - just start the right front with a purl or WS row. Al is the queen of winging it though, so she's going to be a lot of help if you want to change it to a jumper.
Where did you get the pattern for your skirt by the way - I've never really sewed clothes and am looking for a basic A-line skirt pattern a la what you just made...
Thanks Alison...I'll check in on your blog and send you an email.
Bel - sounds like a good way to make the cardi work too - thanks! The sewing pattern is Kwik Sew 2783 - I posted a pic of the pattern here http://sadieandlance.blogspot.com/2006/02/in-progress.html IT is SO easy and a great pattern for starting out on clothes. Don't be alarmed by the daggy pic on the front of the pattern though!
Hi Bianca. Greeting from Portland. To convert a cardigan pattern into a jumper one, why not just do two back, put a deeper neckline on one of them? I do this often. Betty.
