Just back from Holmfirth

OK, I can get alt.binaries.crafts.pictures. Shall I put it there?

Mary


Yes, please. I am anxious to see what you are planning.

I'll make it smaller and put it on now. Then go back to the work - I've done
the back welt and have begun the Hard Bit.

This is the second American pattern I've done and I really prefer English
instructions, they're more thorough. Not keen on working to charts either -
I know it's just the job for some and I CAN do it but prefer words.

Off to shrink the pic,

Mary

We're eleven miles, door to door, from there. There were lots of such
places in this part of Yorkshire, indeed my great grandmother worked at
the famous Salts alpaca mill and lived in Saltaire. Yorkshire folk have
been steeped in the woolen industry for generations - from animal to
clothing.

One of the reasons we chose the Dales to visit. When we go on holiday my
DH and I try to avoid large cities and the "typical" tourist haunts.

But the Dales is an entirely different area from the Heavy Woolen District -
and far more touristy :-)


When I Googled for Mohair Mills I got a freight company at that address
:-(

I think that the company is probably listed as A.C Wood.

I Googled that and only found it in directories, there's no website for
them. I wonder if they're still there ...

Thanks for sharing the picture. That is lovely, and would be quite
interesting to knit. I think that you will find it not as difficult as you
think. You are only working one pattern at the time.

BTW, so you mind sharing the pattern source, I have some silk that would
like to be that jumper.

Thanks

I didn'ty think it would be difficult - just challenging. Not the same thing
at all :-) And, as you say, very interesting.

I'll try to remember to bring up the pattern next time I come to the pc. Now
I'm going to dosome more knitting :-)

On the silk - I don't know where you are. The equivalent yarn I got to knit
it was what we call Double Knitting wool. I always think of silk as quite
thin - but I don't know :-(

I got the silk from here http://www.tessyarns.com/
Scroll down until you see the silk
Melinda has both worsted and sport. Depending on the gauge, I just go up or
down a jumper size if the yarn is thicker or thinner. Check out the
beautiful hand dyed yarns while you are there.

Beautiful!

I've no idea what they are :-)

Also, I forgot to bring up the pattern, I shall though. I only switched on
to see if there was anything in a local store's offers which we want. I
don't really want to go out, it's an awful day with high winds and rain
lashing - sometimes from the north so bitterly cold.

And a son has taken time off work so that he and Spouse can re-build a fence
which blew down in last week's storms. Not really the weather for it :-(

Finally remembered to bring the pattern up with me.

The cover says Knitaly 7 Septembre, B204 The pattern I'm using is Aran
Interlock M-524.

I hope this helps.

I've now done the seed stitch foundation triangles and the first two pattern
blocks. It's looking good :-)

Well, put it this way. I didn't get to bed until after midnight last night.

I'll just finish this block.

I might as well finish the ball.

Can't leave a block half done ...

:-)
