Is one preferable, or more prestigious, over the other? I knit myself a sweater out of Jamieson's last year (because that's what the pattern used, and I wanted the exact same colors), and liked knitting with it. The sweater has become my favorite, and I feel so great when wearing it.<br /><br />Mary G. in TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-35910952089402958732010-11-17T18:42:48.450+00:002010-11-17T18:42:48.450+00:00glad to hear the more uplifting news... day by day...glad to hear the more uplifting news... day by day (but that is hard).<br /><br />i am endlessly fascinated with ROYALS - do agree with you about her life after uni - but Tina Brown has an interesting article on THE DAILY BEAST (her webzine) about KM being "groomed" . maybe they didnt want her to do anything in order to avoid ANY controversy etc... <br /><br />TB also points out that KM basically had to prove to HRH that she IS NOT at all like Diana. <br /><br />and there is an interesting para about why Wills insisted on that ring.Southern Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704854973003741122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-84634977250407202012010-11-17T14:42:45.049+00:002010-11-17T14:42:45.049+00:00I am very surprised to learn that there used to be...I am very surprised to learn that there used to be a wider range of colors available. I was under the impression that there used to be far fewer.
