It was funny however, that many of my friends in grad school would see me in my apartment padding around in those slippers and how many wistfully noted that they wanted a pair!Angela Tarangohttp://knittingangel.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-62370860700389233642009-11-14T21:49:33.169+00:002009-11-14T21:49:33.169+00:00Regarding i-cord makers - try before you buy.

I found one at the thrift shop and right now I don't know where it is; I found it hard to use.<br />Earflap hats are just beanies with flaps added, aren't they? Maybe with some extra rows to cover the back of the neck.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-62599237101357074552009-11-14T20:11:30.534+00:002009-11-14T20:11:30.534+00:00And then you could always get one of those dinky i...And then you could always get one of those dinky i-cord makers to go with it...:-) (The Noro yarn made like that caused a lot of comment at our Craft and Quilt Fair but much cheaper to make it yourself. Yes, the idea is you knit it up afterwards on needles the size - but not the length - of broomsticks.)catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-75473560991300769862009-11-14T17:58:28.606+00:002009-11-14T17:58:28.606+00:00No, I'm not going to line Lad's hat.

He's got inbuilt thrums.Spinningfishwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709744732495957360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60476271223369812982009-11-14T13:08:12.621+00:002009-11-14T13:08:12.621+00:00Jean, I know you're not planning to buy any ya...Jean, I know you're not planning to buy any yarn, but I recently bought some LOVELY bulky alpaca yarn (Catalina superbulky) on sale from the Knitting & Crochet Guild trading site - http://www.kcgtrading.com/catalina.php?fulldisplay=11#11<br /><br />reduced to £4.50 a skein. <br /><br />It's gorgeous - I bought an aubergine colour to make a Sideways Grande Cloche - but also availble in ecru/white and a range of other colours. Definitely recommend it!Catrionanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-18973356927035450722009-11-14T12:59:41.645+00:002009-11-14T12:59:41.645+00:00I thought of you this morning when I saw the updat...I thought of you this morning when I saw the updated Maltese Fishermans Hat while browsing old IKs. It's in the Summer 2007. The baby version has a colorwork chart, which I suppose would not be too difficult to change and enlarge. Happy hat dreaming.rosesmamanoreply@blogger.com
