Once you're indoors in a safe warm place for the night, maybe a little after-the-fact nightcap would help celebrate having survived another day.<br /><br />Ahem. Knitting... It's very interesting to see the sweater laid atop the previous model. The progress is visible. That looks like what, 50% done?<br /><br />I don't think the button-front and collar design is old hat; classic, yes. They're still making knitted polo shirts that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-28926835696573726872007-01-14T19:27:00.000+00:002007-01-14T19:27:00.000+00:00No comments?

Can't have that!<br /><br />I did not read your blog in the weekend because I was stuck out somewhere in a forest freezing off my dainty behind, but I did enjoy reading your posts with a warm blanket wrapped around me today. Your blog is one of my most favourite, and it makes me very sad that I am not going to England this summer anymore to come and stalk the pretty front door and the glorious Princess Shawl :-(Cargo & Lenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602233803433147034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-11838462960697197622007-01-14T14:42:00.000+00:002007-01-14T14:42:00.000+00:00Give up drinking in January?

That could kill a person!<br /><br />Let Franklin know that Addi makes 12 inch circs, very handy for sleeves, and Clover imports some that are maybe six inches(?). They are a bit fiddly, but great for cuffs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-46343949399308419782007-01-14T14:31:00.000+00:002007-01-14T14:31:00.000+00:00I've been reading you every day, I promise. Yours...I've been reading you every day, I promise. Yours (and the Harlot and Franklin) are three that I never put off until the next day.<br /><br />I have actually been busily finishing off a waistcoat/vest for my 6yo daughter. Have a look at my latest post for progress pics. I'd appreciate your expertise on corrugated ribbing :)Moorecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231619758940001287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60872139637643414002007-01-14T12:58:00.000+00:002007-01-14T12:58:00.000+00:00My intention was to leave a comment when I was up ...My intention was to leave a comment when I was up the middle of last night, but I put it off until today. Does that count?<br /><br />Watching your progress has inspired me to start Rose's elephant and mouse project, which is now to be a hat and mittens for the tail end of this winter, and a vest for next year. I was wondering what you do with your ends? On the vest, I will be able to hide them in the steeks, but on the hat and mittens I will have a line of fringe. Could I see a picture of the inside?<br /><br />I wish I could show pictures, but I have neither blog nor digital camera. And the learning curve for both is beyond me just now. Perhaps one year during summer break I will get myself into the 21st century.<br /><br />And Franklin? I have a tiny pair of what I think of as sleeve or sock circulars that just measured to be 12". They came from the dismantling of the material aids room at the Friends Meeting House, though, so I have no idea where to get more. These are a size 3 and have the smoothest join of any of my circulars. The needle itself is so short, 2", that I think thye would be very fiddly to use for any length of time.<br /><br />rosesmamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-30457907903152851422007-01-14T12:00:00.000+00:002007-01-14T12:00:00.000+00:00Here in Chicago, January abstinence is unheard of....Here in Chicago, January abstinence is unheard of. Folks use liquor to deal with the cold. I don't drink, but the prospect of freezing to death walking half a block to the dry cleaners has made me consider whether I ought to start.<br /><br />What's the length of the single circ you're working the sleeve on, if I may ask? My smallest are 16" and my sleeves won't go round, but those are the smallest I've ever seen. Have I overlooked an even shorter length?Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670441931649806878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-89279463162587827972007-01-14T11:26:00.000+00:002007-01-14T11:26:00.000+00:00Hi,Jean, Really enjoying your thoughtful progress ...Hi,Jean, Really enjoying your thoughtful progress on the sweater.<br />I too took a look at the Yarn Yard site after seeing your comment. That's the beauty of blogging for me - the links and connections. Is thirty three pounds a lot for three pairs of socks? I did pay hand-painted prices for sock yarn from Pieces of Beauty - she's in Scotland, I think. But then you could see what it looked like, and it was lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
