Am kamin

Hi Everyone,
I am about ready to start but was wondering if there are any errors in the Am Kamin sweater I should know about. I am just not smart enought with Japanese to figure it out on my own. And for those of you who charted the pattern on computer software which one did you use and why do you prefer it. I am thinking of buying Stitch and Motif.
Thanks again,
Mona

Herbstlied detail

I have been working on the sweater from the cover of the book, not Am Kamin. I thought you might like to see it. I did a LOT of research on Japanese knitting charts and katakana symbols to be able to translate this pattern. That actually turned out to be fun. This pattern was a pleasure to knit as each leaf and acorn appears. What next from this book? Visit Grumperina's site to see her insanely complex version of the Mountain Ash shawl from the book.

AmKamin Sweater

Hello everyone,
Today is my first entry and I want to know everything about this sweater. What yarns you used and how did you figure out how much to use. Needle sizes, gauge just anything you can throw out will be helpful. I am so excited to be here.
Thanks so much in advance.

I am just about all set to start......I was wondering if any of you found any errors in the Am Kamin Sweater pattern.
I'm not smart enough in Japanese to figure it out on my own. And to you ladies that charted the pattern on Stitch and Motif software was it hard to do. I am seriously thinking about purchasing some. Or does anyone have anything they liked better.
Thanks
Mona
