Be careful working a larger version of the pattern. It might work width-wise, but check your vertical measurements as well. And if there is any shaping, you'll want to re-calculate that as well. Let me know if you want help. I recalculated tomato to a finer gauge, and I think it's fun getting to play with my pencil and calculator! Oh, I love the yarn.

I'm so jealous! I started "Nothing But A T-Shirt" a few years ago and never finished it. Perhaps I should start that over! You have inspired me! That yarn is beautiful and I love the pale pink.

Knitting love spread to many projects is not love subtracted, it is love multiplied! But, in case Basic Black doesn't understand, I won't tell. (Secret lover, that's what we are...) It's quite a nice little pattern--I've been looking for something along these lines. I think I'll have to extrapolate the schematic out some to fit, but it's doable. Along those lines, I'm glad you were able to figure out how to do the yarn substitution. Even if you hadn't been able to figure out a specific size to follow, it is possible to use the schematic to personalize the pattern to your exact size and yarn choice, so long as you know your gauge. From there it'll be one easy step to writing your own patterns! ;-) Knitting polygamy is not to be avoided–it is to be embraced.

If you start the NBaT do keep a constant eye on your gauge. I knit it up in a silk yarn I had (with the same loosy-goosy issues), but because I'm a lazy knitter, I didn't pay attention. It turned out much too big. That said, it works up very nicely. There was a KAL for it, so I'm sure there are examples on Ravelry. I know nothing of that other sweater…That Sublime seems lust worthy.
