Not that great a movie for knitting anything complicated.

I actually found the loose balls of yarn.<BR/><BR/>Except that I can not find the book that contains the pattern. Any one have Folk Vests?<BR/><BR/>-HollyHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032454459129277383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464667571555571296.post-75355153702204178152007-03-19T03:12:00.000-07:002007-03-19T03:12:00.000-07:00Me too!!

I originally did a backward loop (my least favorite co) because I wanted the knits and purls to be smooth all the way down, but I had to rip it out several times (twisted, too many stitches, not enough stitches, etc.) I went with the long tail, and, after fears of 14 inches of ease, I went with the 43.5 inch body. I'll do most of this on the subway where my already loose gauge just gets looser. I did the first two inches in the dark in a movie theater!!
