Wow that will make a gorgeous sweater......it is so hard to find the perfect
sweater pattern...I have spent hours on the net<G> top down is what I am
looking for too.....with pockets and warmth is a must...I bought a sweater
at Goodwill for work when we go thru the no heat no air period which is next
month I think for a few weeks and I failed to think that although it was
wash and dry acrylic it would not keep me warm<G> and as my arms are real
short I am determined this year to make a sweater for me.
Oh I am sorry I missed you but yes next year for sure....this is the first
year the guild had their own table...all the other years they played
greeters at the entrance. We had our first meeting Monday after the show
and several new members joined that had stopped by the table...they had no
idea we had a Knitting Guild...and a group from Cincinnati came up too<G>
I was overwhelmed by all the raw wool for spinners which is good for them
but there was a good selection of sock yarn as well and I added to my addi
and wood needle stash<G> oh and I bought a beautiful hand made table top
swift. I have the umbrella type but just can't get the tension
right.....the balls/cakes come out too tight and this new one is perfect.
