QUITE lovely. I think you'll find something for your Koigu yarn in there.<br /><br />Glad your day today dawned better.Sarah JSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-74982623670920248352011-07-21T22:53:04.535+01:002011-07-21T22:53:04.535+01:00Hope is definitely the thing to maintain.

I love watching the athletes compete, and in theory I like the idea of the Olympics. It was great fun for the two and a half weeks Vancouver hosted them last year, but now we are paying the price for those games and will be for many years to come. It is time to establish permanent sites for the games. <br /><br />I think you are right about the possibility of Knit Nation being scheduled for a more opportune time and location next year. That is what happened with events that would have conflicted with the Olympics in Vancouver. A good friend of mine's husband died during the 2010 Games and they even postponed the memorial service until after the event!kristieinbchttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-39634016839197199552011-07-21T16:10:59.031+01:002011-07-21T16:10:59.031+01:00A Swirl sweater will be lovely in Koigu but I have...A Swirl sweater will be lovely in Koigu but I have to warn you that most of the sweaters are done in DK weight or Aran weight yarns. If you can find one with a fine enough gauge (I don't have my copy of KS handy to confirm), Koigu will be wonderful for it.FiberQathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524481267771726089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-9468775467240650592011-07-21T12:23:45.726+01:002011-07-21T12:23:45.726+01:00Ah, yes - the Olympics effect.

I have been puzzled by the various fibre projects intent on gifting every athlete with a pennant or a cushion or an embroidered postcard to take home with them. This, to make sure that we all take part in the event itself. What will these super-fit young people make of these offerings, I wonder?shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-26693405829763304582011-07-21T09:51:11.326+01:002011-07-21T09:51:11.326+01:00Glad you're feeling a bit perkier today Jean :...Glad you're feeling a bit perkier today Jean :) How about I not believe with you, because having been unable to get to Knit Nation myself this year I too was looking forward to next. <br /><br />I did see copies of Knit Swirl at Woolfest and decided not to buy myself, but I hope you can find something in there you fancy casting on :)Anniehttp://knitsofacto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
