Lynne, I really like this sweater; I'd like to think about making it, too. Could you give us a heads-up as to what the name of the sweater is so that we could track down the pattern? Thanks! Janet
Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard. One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da...
In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing. Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath. Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...
Long time. Made these for a lady in Banff, she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again slowly (burn underway) I told her that it didn't work that way. Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount. Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any money up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how much knitting time that freed up. Did the 3 pair shorties in that time frame, mix and match. All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5. Next pair were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
