I have it down now -- narrow wrist, long fingers, man's medium size palm/hand -- I switched needle sizes constantly after some frogging, but definitely have been happy for the .... ummm procrastination/diversion. Tomorrow is another day. says Scarlett -- for baking. I also make my own peppermint bark with white chocolate chunks and bittersweet chocolate. <BR/><BR/>But I'm definitely going to start the Earth Wrap stole very soon -- the dpns for the gloves wreck some havoc with my upper shoulder issues and it's NOT fun. Anatomy is quite interesting in this case!

As it takes me an hour, it's usually sufficient, but given the recent spate of wintry weather and accompanying clouds have made it a bit more difficult. Which is, I think, why I've not been very productive of late. Just under a week until the solstice, though.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047049720897209506noreply@blogger.com
