I'm glad that the yarn got soft after washing, it would be a disaster if such a beautiful piece of clothing had to stay in the wardrobe unworn.

Eventually all sticthes will be on the scrap yarn and not the knitting needle. You try the thing on for size and then thread the knitting needle back through all the stitches. When they're all on, pull the scrap yarn through and out.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597601271517814085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25741243.post-1153324033825152792006-07-19T08:47:00.000-07:002006-07-19T08:47:00.000-07:00Wow!
