How to kill a gansy

You'll have to do that in a thermally neutral situation then - no
cheating by sitting in sunbeams in a navy sweater and calling it
"warmer" *g*

The rush to dye was so I could wear it in yesterday's rain storm. And, more
rain tomorrow.

Hopefully that will give me the confidence to wear it salmon fishing - and
not take backup gear.

Oilskins are an acceptable accessory...

I started another gansey last night from a very soft Scottish yarn
worked
double. On my gansey needles, that gives me only 6spi so it should go
pretty fast, but there are 10 stitch panels each of which have cables
and
diamonds --so may go slow. I am hoping that the gansey will go *much*
faster than the swatch (8.3 spm : - (( If not, there will be
sleepless
nights in June.

Aaron,
It sounds lovely!
And I think it always is like that;
we start with a swatch, do the first pattern repeat, and think the work
will never end.
And suddenly we discover that we do the pattern correctly , pretty fast
without thinkeng of what we do.
I am always surprised over what has happened,
but I guess it is what I try to achieve with my pupils in school! LOL!

And IF you get sleepless night, I think you have had less pleasant
sleepless night earlier ;-) Good luck! AUD ;-)
