That stuff is too unreliable to spend that amount of time making something with it. I've got a few sweaters made of Debbie Bliss yarn, and they're all too big.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-77234489462984086492013-10-24T10:35:16.125-04:002013-10-24T10:35:16.125-04:00I really am out of the loop!

I kind of feel like a Madelinetosh groupie ;) I am stuck in the Tosh DK line and can't seem to stop buying it. I have been eyeing the Vintage, and I am glad to know that it will please as well. I did go out on a limb this spring and bought some Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran to knit a sweater (which the sad beginning is still just languishing on my needles), now I am a little nervous what the end result will bring. <br /><br />I love the stripes, by the way! I need to try my hand at that next!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028414273977350224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-17979979285834005552013-10-23T06:09:27.860-04:002013-10-23T06:09:27.860-04:00It;s looking good! and yup, HP is the very first t...It;s looking good! and yup, HP is the very first thought that popped into my head too. The books are absolutely brilliant, they didn't get to be the world's most popular series for no reason! our whole family gobbled them up as soon as each one came out. We used to squabble over who could read the newest book first! and as soon as one person laid it down someone else would pick it up... there were several bookmarks in the current book at any one time! we all thought the movies were pretty ordinary though.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-6107805871879012892013-10-22T07:09:20.785-04:002013-10-22T07:09:20.785-04:00Blame it on me: I never read or saw any of the Har...Blame it on me: I never read or saw any of the Harry Potter books/movies so when you picked the colours in the store all I could think of was that bikini I mentioned. Glad to hear he is cool and that M approves (you must have been so relieved). As for Tosh yarn, I'm in love. I've not knitted with vintage, but the DK and Sport weights are fantastic: springy, hardy, soft and beautifully saturated. And it washes so well you can tell garments made from it will outlast all of us, just maybe.Andreahttp://www.stitchparade.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-71998226506267854902013-10-22T00:10:37.763-04:002013-10-22T00:10:37.763-04:00I knit my daughters scarves when they were little-...I knit my daughters scarves when they were little--one in a green and purple stripe with pink handmade pompoms that were promptly torn off by the two-year-old (she also peels the wallpaper off her bedroom wall at 11; hurrah) and one in pink with some white knit stitches at planned intervals and purple pompoms for the elder daughter (5). They lasted for years and I cannot imagine having the energy/time to knit another pair of scarves.
