OH YES it is a MUST to have at least One of those in any knitter`s
garderobe !!!!

Well believe it or not while sitting on Christmas Eve I decided what
I'm going to do for my project. After finally mastering cable this
year I am going to make myself an Aran type sweater.

Darlene in Toronto

No I have not.
Too be truthful Mirjam I think if I had to knit it in parts I would get
fed up with it after a few panels and give up. I seem to have lost the
stamina for large items. Also I prefer to crochet rather than knit.

I did particularly like that shawl.
Maybe I should do an exchange and ask someone if the would like to do
the shawl for me in exchange for some beaded jewellery. LOL

That is really a lovely shawl.
With my heart problems I could not knit it nowadays, it would get too
heavy on my arms as it grew.

Good look with your project.

Shirley ,,, if you have a chance try to find some camel wool , esp the
thinner ones are HEAVENLY , very warm , no weight ......the thicker
ones are warm , but look less elegant....there are usualy 2-3 shades
of light biege to light brown ,,,

No I have not.
I used to think like you Shirley and than found out about Domino and
entrelac , and from working in these techniques came to the
realization that `sometimes` i can work in parts ,,, Although i still
feel much happier withthe one piece seamless knitting ...
Too be truthful Mirjam I think if I had to knit it in parts I would get
fed up with it after a few panels and give up. I seem to have lost the
stamina for large items. Also I prefer to crochet rather than knit.
I understand your Crochet prefference, but i like both each for it`s
merits !!!
Have you noticed that one can now But Ready Made sweaters that are
industrial knit , but adorned with hand made crochet adornments ,,,,
When i was 12-14 , it was quite fashionable to make a vest with woven
cloth front panels and knitted or crochet back , and sweaters with
woven body and knit or crochet sleeves. If you feel you can`t make Big
items , why not buy a nice piece of fabric , and finnish it around
with crochet, this way you will have the afgahn , have added a
personal touch , and not over worked on it ???
