Really, there is nothing technical in the pattern at all, but the delight is the combining of the colours to see what "pops" with what. In this cold weather, the lovely colours are a real pleasure, on the hands as well as on the needles.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-51584686176463468832008-12-02T17:23:00.000+00:002008-12-02T17:23:00.000+00:00any chance of the bean recipe?

We still have to do a mega grocery store run to fill the cupboards, although Round Table pizza has had our money twice (hubby not a pizza fan, so that says a lot). <BR/><BR/>and thanks to Phyllis for the Newfoundland thumb trick!MaryjoOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861945604000052572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-4687247502693218552008-12-02T16:22:00.000+00:002008-12-02T16:22:00.000+00:00Mmm.

Knit the seven stitches with waste yarn, slip back to left needle, knit them again with mitten yarn, then finish the hand. Pull out the waste yarn and voila! stitches ready to knit.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841056498712708528noreply@blogger.com
