We have new colors planned, but nothing available at the moment. I feel now that the yarns need to have different colors, though. If it's the color you're really after, we have a very similar, relatively new color in Simply Soft: Ocean. It's really soft, but it doesn't have a bamboo content. BTW, Country doesn't contain any bamboo, just microdenier acrylic and merino wool. Hope this helps and thanks for the positive comments on Spa! Cari Hi, Jackie,

I believe the project you're referring to is the Woodcliff Throw. You could wear it as a shawl, but it's listed on the website as a throw. Here's a link to the pattern: http://www.naturallycaron.com/projects/woodcliff/woodcliff_1.html The yarn is Spa and it can be found in all Jo-Ann Superstores, all Michaels stores and all Hobby Lobby stores. Have fun with it! Cari Hi, Kathy,

There was one mistake in the printed pattern, which is corrected online, if that's where you're stuck. The online pattern for this is under the Pattern Boutique, Store Project Sheets. Here's the direct link: http://www.naturallycaron.com/projects/waikiki/waikiki_1.html. Hope this helps, Cari Hi, Ellen,

The gauge on the pattern is correct and the number of stitches to cast on for the back is correct (assuming you're knitting the second size), (102 sts/5=20.4), so I'm not sure what's happening. You are using Spa, not Country, right? I get a 5.25 sts to the inch gauge using a #6 needle (I tend to be a somewhat tight knitter, though). Also, what Kristin didn't write in is that your cast-on should be a provisional cast-on, so you can pick up the stitches of the back when you're done with the bodice. I'll be sure the pattern is changed - also to show sizing. Hope this helps. Cari Hi, Nancy.

I have done a proper gauge, but when I cast on the required stitches to begin my width is 25" - way more than the 20" that the pattern shows. I even went down to a size #5 needle. Are you sure the pattern is correct?? I'm not a loose knitter. Before I continue I'd like your input. Thank you. I am starting the Alpharetta Hoddie Vest – just love it!

At the moment, we don't have these in kids sizes, but thanks so much for the suggestion. Good idea. We'll see what we can do.

Love the design but would like to make it for a child rather than an adult. Thanks, Janice Is there a pattern available for “little arches” socks in kids size?

I think the diagram shows the full length of the collar, but, you're right. It should show just the length for the one side. I'll get our tech editor to make the change to the drawing and we'll re-post. Thanks for letting us know! Hi, Kathy, It should be 3″.
