Do they have complete sets?

I'll probably pass, but I don't feel guilty as I have frequented Schoolhouse press plenty over the years.<BR/><BR/>Am waiting for final pics from the Earth Stripes -- I can't understand why the photos online of the cover of that Rowan show the yarn "lighter" looking that every one I've seen made up ... I'm still thinking about it as I really need warm things on my shoulders (but not warm jumpers) MaryjoOMaryjoOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861945604000052572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-34423048827467369042007-11-05T03:11:00.000+00:002007-11-05T03:11:00.000+00:00Binding is for things that you use or mean to use ...Binding is for things that you use or mean to use and are not interested in preserving as collectibles.

Since you take obvious care and pride in your text collections, what about archival-quality sleeves in either a standing pamphlet box or a flat portfolio?

The point of carrying the unused colors for the long distances is to see the blips of color peeking through, it gives a neat tweed-y look to the fabric. To do this, you catch the yarn differently than you would in Fair Isle, where you don't want those blips to show. Otherwise, you can knit it the same as Fair Isle as far as how you hold the yarns (one handed or two), Meg and Joyce both happen to hold them in one hand is all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-38374654173977944772007-11-04T12:32:00.000+00:002007-11-04T12:32:00.000+00:00The Knitting and Crochet Guild seems like a good p...The Knitting and Crochet Guild seems like a good place for them, actually, especially if they are a complete set by then.
