I won't say how old I am now, but I have been knitting for a long time!

I took a crochet class one time and it was the most awful piece of a-symmetrical yarn-work ever attempted, the teacher just looked at me puzzled; "Somehow, you managed to drop 13 rows, pick up 15 more and create your own stitch; you should start over. <br /><br />If folded properly, it looked nice over my couch and became a dedicated doggie blanket. Dogs never judge. <br /><br />I hope you have a lovely Easter.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802091255052040254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300684524183031575.post-54107807458434162792011-04-23T15:25:07.562+01:002011-04-23T15:25:07.562+01:00Years ago I did some knitting, not as much as croc...Years ago I did some knitting, not as much as crochet though. I will be getting more crochet materials soon and play around and try to remember how to do it all. There were times I finished something and would take it apart and do it over. That is what I would say to you. They look so soft and comfy. I hope you do them over and will have the double satisfaction when you wear them.<br /><br />Thank you for the info on feeding rabbits. We have squirrels, rabbits, other critters and they come to our back yard for the corn we put out there. Right now we have baby squirrels behind the garage and some baby rabbits out in the back yard. They all get along together and even play together.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300684524183031575.post-73475252479832497612011-04-23T15:22:22.369+01:002011-04-23T15:22:22.369+01:00Oh gosh.

Just because they don't look like the pattern doesn't make them wrong - it makes them original to you. As you know, cable patterns have been used for generations to identify the region or even the maker of the knitting. <br /><br />If it's too big for you maybe not for someone else?Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300684524183031575.post-39065099276527379722011-04-21T11:35:27.605+01:002011-04-21T11:35:27.605+01:00Rudee, I laughed so much at your comment!

In the end, I would be surprised that it didn't fit, but I'd wear it anyways. If you don't believe me, you can ask the too tight sweater on my dress form in my yarn room. It'll tell you all about my knitting foibles and rose colored glasses. Those cables are beautiful and I can appreciate why you are stuck--neither able to move forward, nor back.
