Anxious to get started on the swatching. Is that alright? I was thinking of trying something other than the Quebecoise since I have done 2 using that yarn. I was thinking of Zara at 5.5 stitches per inch or ultra alpaca at 5 stitches to the inch. I was also thinking of maybe trying it as a cardigan????????? A mind is a terrible thing to waste. I am also looking forward to the charts with larger "thingies" Had the same problem as Amy with the book charts.

A blog for the Knit Along for Russian Prime designed by Meg Swansen
The Russian Prime Sweater
The Russian Prime was designed by Meg Swansen and is found in her book, Meg Swansen's Knitting (page 36).
Quoting from the description (page 37):
"This circular garment is constructed along the lines of a classic Norwegian dropped-shoulder sweater, with a few added details. "
You can find the instructions in several places: (1) The original Wool Gathering was #49 (Sept '93) (Out of Print); (2) A VHS video was made with insert-instructions and charts. (Out of stock?); (3) The book, Meg Swansen's Knitting, published by Interweave Press. Schoolhouse Press may have the only remaining copies as this has been discontinued by IP. (4) A new DVD version of the video (with insert instructions and charts) (ETA by early March)
