For the hat/scarf duo...It was the iridescent thread in the yarn that we were looking for to match the 'orginal' scarf.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601926981102367271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223623511418769645.post-73221634841124969542007-03-20T18:56:00.000-07:002007-03-20T18:56:00.000-07:00OMG on those prices.

Love it. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I love the twisted rib (I had to look up how to do it -- so simple). I'm not a fan of ribbing (I hate how boring it is), but this might actually make it interesting. Wish I had seen it 2 days ago before starting my new ribbed sock. I'm done with the foot (toe up), so I'm too far along to rip and redo. Next sock will be a twisted rib. <BR/><BR/>Hope DD likes the hat. It's gorgeous yarn. (I'm now a yarn snob, having once bought nothing but Lion's Brand and now not buying any of it. But the pics make the lion brand look very luscious.)Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02255913758088921326noreply@blogger.com
