Then the wool lace need not touch the neck. The only difficulty I can imagine would be the delicate folds of the wool lace, instead of the stiffly starched cotton or linen look. Can one starch wool? More to the point, I suppose, does one ever starch wool?=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-65543163667543469112009-08-04T15:29:49.351+01:002009-08-04T15:29:49.351+01:00Jared's book of patterns makes me sad I don...Jared's book of patterns makes me sad I don't live someplace where one can wear sweaters regularly anymore. I am going to buy it anyway and see if its possible to swing any of the patterns with a wool/cotton blends.<br /><br />I'll email you my new email address Jean. I have to say, I miss Oberlin. Maybe its because after living in such a small, charming town, the city seems so overwhelming, or its because Texas is so hot, or because I know nobody here, but I am homesick for Oberlin.

I just bought my first download pattern yesterday!

Unfortunately, I made the discovery as I was leaving for work Sunday, and I won't be home until today. Theoretically I should try to sleep first, but the Curmudgeon is up this way, and I'm hoping she'll be able to swing by for a little visit.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047049720897209506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-91335070684593970292009-08-04T08:56:58.894+01:002009-08-04T08:56:58.894+01:00I rather like the idea of wedding photos concenrat...I rather like the idea of wedding photos concenrating on shoes.
