I've been tempted by the Trekking, wondering what is so great about it. And I saw that lace scarf too and think it is amazing - and the alpaca colors you chose are fantastic - and me too - the last thing I need is more yarn!!!WHCounselorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439252402096590281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24346482.post-1146443925875894552006-04-30T20:38:00.000-04:002006-04-30T20:38:00.000-04:00I do not take any responsibility for the steady dr...I do not take any responsibility for the steady draining of your children's college funds.

I think it would kind of give us license to have a go at our own ideas and not worry about messing up if it doesn't work. I always feel everything I make has to be a work of art, but having to make a sock to my own pattern or idea would put the creative part at the top of the list, not the outcome. Hope this isn't double-dutch.

Now...Hi, Thanks for your kind words about my socks! Now that I've completed them for Cirque du Socks, I've resumed work on Mermaid. It's going well and much easier than I thought it would be almost completely due to Amy's chart. You may have read about it on the KAL blog, but in case you haven't, e-mail her for a copy at needlesnhooks@gmail.com. Though knitting the ridges is boring at times - the cardi is worked sideways so the rows are long - I love working the gussets and working it sideways makes watching the construction fascinating. I hope you won't let the instructions included in the kit delay your start they way I did. Love your blog and the great links. Love NYC too and your comment re darker colors working better there picqued my curiosity: won't NYers wear color this spring?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100129333721277712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24346482.post-1146407892767949992006-04-30T10:38:00.000-04:002006-04-30T10:38:00.000-04:00It's like you've read my thoughts.
