Slight allergy to it maybe. The hat is cute though. And who doesn't alter a pattern?<br /><br />Alpaca has no lanolin and that might be the problem for you. And sometimes how it is processed makes a differnce. but I am lucky in that I love it!!!!<br /><br />I am putting a Kindle on my holiday list. Hopefully it will show up. Well a Kindle and g/c for my LYS and my fiber supply place. And you are right some books are nice to read but don't deserve space nn the shelf.<br /><br />And I like the last shawl pattern. Just what I need, a new project!!!<br /><br />And the one thing to keep in mind about Twist is that the designers are the ones getting the money. It means they can make a living designing. I still haven't decided which ones I like best yet in the new issue.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640308257305494076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32040200.post-75080992648692550392010-11-21T06:47:17.890-06:002010-11-21T06:47:17.890-06:00That is a darling hat.
