I was going to use the brick as my second colour, but I had used the gold as my crochet cast on and figured it didn't look too bad.<BR/><BR/>Holly, I figure getting a teenager to do dishes is the least they can do as payment for putting up with the teenage years. Once our teenaged girl moved out on her own, it became the boy's job! The older one washes (he's almost 18) and the younger one dries (he's 8). And my youngest is responsible for unloading the dishwasher. She probably complains more than the boys put together. lol It all gets done eventually (they're not exactly quick!) but at least my back doesn't ache from standing over the sink.<BR/>Michelle, I don't know how you do keep your hands out of store inventory!

And you can even bind them in, which takes care of sewing if you don't want to pick up and knit down because of the bulk.<BR/><BR/>-HollyHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032454459129277383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464667571555571296.post-82864815637386192452007-03-04T17:48:00.000-08:002007-03-04T17:48:00.000-08:00Sign me up for the ones who love the colour choice...Sign me up for the ones who love the colour choices. Apparently the Paton's merino is cursed for guage, as I checked but had different results from straight to circs.<BR/><BR/>I really really wish I had thought to work in the round. **Pouts lots**Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464667571555571296.post-17942020693439337362007-03-04T11:05:00.000-08:002007-03-04T11:05:00.000-08:00Hi Barbara, I am so glad you joined the "madness"I...Hi Barbara, I am so glad you joined the "madness"<BR/>I can't wait to see your progress on sweater #2<BR/>I do love the colour choices as well...I was going to do something similar but had already balled up the chocolate for Chris' sweater and had to slap my hand away from the store inventory...I do that a lotMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069559676986268598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464667571555571296.post-16945707217563435392007-03-04T10:50:00.000-08:002007-03-04T10:50:00.000-08:00I love your color choices! and welcome from anothe...I love your color choices! and welcome from another doing it in the round!<BR/><BR/>If we hadn't had some family sitting around time this weekend - I would not be very far at all. <BR/><BR/>This coming week is going to be a disaster at work, and I doubt I am going to be able to do much of any knitting till next weekend.<BR/><BR/>The pictures of sweater 1 are a bit deceiving.. those sleeves are not all that wide, since there are no increases or decreases in the whole thing. At least for the smallest size, they are only 11" around. <BR/><BR/>I am planning on decreasing for the part below the ribbing anyway, for just the reason that you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>But doing dishes? Do you really think I can get a teenager to do dishes?<BR/><BR/>-Holly<BR/>HeidelbergHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032454459129277383noreply@blogger.com
