I am wondering if everyone is still out there. Haven't seen any new posts lately. I am all set to start knitting on February 1st and sure hate to be knitting alone.. I am using some "stash" for my sweater. It is a discontinued yarn that I have been saving for something special.

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)

Hi, Holly, I'm here in ever-more-frigid SW PA. My swatching with stash J&S isn't working out -- the J&S is too fine. So, I ordered light orange and brown quebecoise from Meg's. When it arrives (expected to be Groundhog Day), I'll be casting on with glee!
Hi Gang,
I too have been playing with stash yarn and just having a dickens of a time trying to get guage and working to see how many more stitches i need to get it to fit. have to get this to work. Love the color combo.
I've been swatching my little brains out with the Quebecoise (plum and light grey) and getting gauge. It's just that the pattern is so much fun to knit that I'm probably going to be the owner of the biggest swatch in history. I'm really looking forward to starting for real on February 1.
