I refuse to knit - my last attempt at a scarf (massive needles, 20 stitches, 4 balls of wool) took 4 months, a re-start ... and although I was careful as anything, still had a massive hole from a dropped stitch. So I am definitely not volunteering for your hexed yarn - who knows what untold damage, etc etc...<br /><br />Glad you've take up the intellectual literature: I'm sure that's done the trick! Awaiting a post on the conclusion of the Shalom cardi in due course.Susie Jeffersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402749518914063770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-47844781745877276622011-03-19T23:04:41.945-07:002011-03-19T23:04:41.945-07:00I would love to make myself one of those shalom ca...I would love to make myself one of those shalom cardigans. if only I could knit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but then perhaps I am lucky I can't with hexed yarns and all that!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-27096970294468990832011-03-19T05:35:00.963-07:002011-03-19T05:35:00.963-07:00Let me know how you get on, I'm about to tackl...Let me know how you get on, I'm about to tackle that pattern for my mum, though I have some Noro silk garden chunky to do it.<br />best of luck<br />martinemartinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260048849955077472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-75500927622985655102011-03-17T16:42:52.719-07:002011-03-17T16:42:52.719-07:00You can do it!
