When I looked at the pictures on the SHP website, the example on the DVD looks like the unspun icelandic yarn which is Meg's favorite yarn. This would produce quite a sturdy fabric compared to sock yarn. <br /><br />You may want to try the sleeve on, pinning it to your own sleeve at various heights to test how your fabric is "blousing" (not sure if that's actually a word). Then you've some idea of how long you'd like the sleeve to be. <br /><br />Hope the weather cooperates for your journey to London.stash haushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244605573080920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-33828970780974935572010-12-08T20:32:03.538+00:002010-12-08T20:32:03.538+00:00I have only ever used it as it is in 2b.

"Writing Home" is linked for ever in my mind as the book I was reading in my father's last days. Recently, I have found some of his sentence structures irritating, rather than just idiosyncratic.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-46055034338948067972010-12-08T16:31:27.857+00:002010-12-08T16:31:27.857+00:00I share Humpty's attitude to word use, but do ...I share Humpty's attitude to word use, but do not allow others the same privilege.<br />-- GretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-56733751936392769662010-12-08T12:01:58.939+00:002010-12-08T12:01:58.939+00:00I also read everyday, but, predictably, do not kno...I also read everyday, but, predictably, do not know how to be a follower.rosesmamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-82144886927922454542010-12-08T11:33:40.338+00:002010-12-08T11:33:40.338+00:00I agree with you about 1a and 1b - but I would hav...I agree with you about 1a and 1b - but I would have extended to 2a.<br /><br />I come from a family of happy pedants - always throwing things at the television and marking the newspaper in red pen!Anitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-7954068705912686502010-12-08T09:34:44.038+00:002010-12-08T09:34:44.038+00:00Jean,
