Where to begin?
It arrived today. Wow. I've truly never met a book that had so many patterns I wanted to create! Such a beautiful collection! Though, I think I might start with the bed jacket or (if I'm feeling randy and there's $ burning a hole in me pocket), the dressing gown. That's what got me to buy the book! Anyone attempt this mammoth project before? I was wondering what yarn you used.

Okay, the Dressing Gown is DEFINITELY on my list. I actually started looking for replacement yarns and found that the Knit Picks' Swish Superwash, Wool of the Andes, Shine Worsted, or Andean Silk would work.
Just a suggestion. Remember to calculate how much yarn you'll need by yardage, not weight.
Yes, that is tricky. I'll be making the shorter version too (seeing as how it will probably end up looking just as long as the long version. I'm 5'1, so the long one might be excessive!) The KP suggestions are good. I need to look into theirs. I've used some of their stuff in the past and liked it a lot. Thanks!
Like you, I'm only 5'3", so at least we'll be able to save money with the shorter length.
At first, I thought about just doing the bed jacket, but figured that if you're going to go that route, you may as well go all out, right?!
