I struggled mightily w/ ladders on DPNs and didn't enjoy 2 circs or magic loop, then I saw the 9" - I only wish there were more patterns written specifically for them b/c sometimes I have trouble translating for the heel - perhaps I should try the after-thought!rachelbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489303021440233275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32040200.post-43045082283645751212012-04-24T10:30:05.191-05:002012-04-24T10:30:05.191-05:00Happy belated Birthday and love the socks.

Haven't tried a pair yet but it is on my knitting to-do list. <br /><br />As to your reading, if you enjoy Kate Morton (and i highly recommend all her books) you might want to read Sarah Addison Allen...not to heavy but quirky magical books, not unlike your reading club one but positive and all great reads.Seamster 411https://www.blogger.com/profile/11667751736875644844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32040200.post-62872841527873524072012-04-20T08:02:51.256-05:002012-04-20T08:02:51.256-05:00I used that same yarn to knit Pogona (http://www.r...I used that same yarn to knit Pogona (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/sjn821/pogona), although I didn't realize it had so much black in it from how the ball presented itself.<br /><br />Happy belated birthday!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028759316489397953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32040200.post-7464702735830386952012-04-18T05:56:24.910-05:002012-04-18T05:56:24.910-05:00Happy Birthday!

It's a good surprise to see your picture about Chagall's window at the Art Institute : my younger daugter working on 5 files for her art history exam (Brevet in France and i don't know if you have the same in USA ). One of the files is about his ceiling paint in Opéra Garnier in Paris. So, it's interessant for her to see you picture ;-) !!<br />I stitched too the Blackbird Design 's Loose Feather. A very , very nice pattern !<br />I will put your blog in my list blogs !<br />Have a nice day and with many late...
