A long shot, but - anyone have a copy of "Greeting from Knit Cafe"?

... and if so, would you be prepared to photocopy the Slouchy cardigan pattern and send it to me? (I will pay, obviously!)

I really want to knit this cardi, but my library doesn't have the book (and neither does any other library I could order from), and I don't really want to pay £15 for a book when I only want one pattern from it (have seen the others in the book and they don't inspire me!).

Many thanks ... !

I haven't got the book or the pattern but apparently there are some corrections to the pattern.... whihc is will copy and paste for you... good luck

Slouchy Cardigan (page 114)
Under Right Front on page 116, starting at the last paragraph in the first column:
(RS) Decrease 1 st at beginning of this row, then every other row 23 times ? 50 (54) sts remain, then every 4 rows 9 times, then every 6 rows 6 (8) times, and AT THE SAME TIME, when the piece measures 16 1/2" from the beginning, Shape Armhole.

On page 116, the second full paragraph in the second column should read:
Work until Armhole measures 9 1/2"...delete the word "even"

Shape Shoulder: (WS) At Armhole edge, BO 5 sts twice, then 4 (6) sts once....

On page 116, the 3rd paragraph in the 3rd column should read:
Row 1: (WS) K1, p1; rep from to last 1(0) st, k1 (0).

On page 116, the 11th paragraph in the 3rd column should read:
Decrease Row: [K7, k2tog] twice, k13 (16), [k2tog, k7] twice -- 45 (48) sts remain.

Under Divide Hood and Shape Top on page 117: delete "leave remaining sts on a spare needle", and then:

Decrease Row: (RS) Decrease 1 st each side as follows: For Right Side of Hood, work across to last 3 sts, k2tog, work 1 st; for Left Side of Hood, work 1 st, ssk, work to end ? 61 sts remain each side. Work 1 (WS) row. Repeat Decrease Row once, then at each center edge, BO 2 sts twice, 3 sts once, then 4 sts once, and AT THE SAME TIME, at each outside edge, BO 7 sts twice, then 8 sts once. BO remaining 27 sts each side.

Thanks meri - have come across those when looking for the pattern - astounding amount of errata! And apparently the sleeves don't work and you have to "fudge" them - I think it's worth it though for the finished item.

I thought it might be a long shot as it's an American book ... hmm

have you got ravelry? maybe somone on there? I have an account but never use it as I am totally crap at patterns... I mean abysmal

Miaou · 20/06/2008 20:00

Yes meri, I do, but I feel it's a step too far to ask to borrow a book from someone when the author is also a member of ravelry

I'm thinking I might look for an alternative pattern!!
