Foxglove looks lovely - you must be really pleased with the result. Lucky you having both your IK and VK - neither of mine have arrived yet and I'm not ammused!

Thanks for the heads up about a new Noro book, must check that one out. Sorry to hear you've had another asthama attack, due to the idiotic antics of two fellow workers. Foxglove is fantastic, it really suits you and is so pretty, your edging looks super and is far, far better than the one in the original pattern. Your silkie sock looks great too, the colours in the yarn show really well! Great news that you now have a fabulous local yarn shop and a holistic store too, Now we know where you go to hide;-) Good luck with the Gala bingo, hope you have a good win ;-)Curly Cablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835368354777197899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13741811.post-20277882654358104532007-08-02T10:45:00.000+01:002007-08-02T10:45:00.000+01:00I actually like quite a lot of the previews in Row...I actually like quite a lot of the previews in Rowan 42 so cant wait for it to arrive - I think there's some really cute cardigans in there :) I agree with your DH, Foxglove looks really pretty and suits you. <BR/><BR/>LOL Everything puts me off toe up! I just hate the method, but we all cant love the same things. I do however adore the STR yarn - what stunning colours.<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear life has been easier for you hun :)Piglottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961495279414546848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13741811.post-74558085871399334002007-08-02T02:12:00.000+01:002007-08-02T02:12:00.000+01:00Foxglove is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful on you...Foxglove is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful on you! (and wouldn't a matching pink felted purse be too too much?! *squee*) Lovely job!<BR/><BR/>Whoa, Jaeger is being discontinued? Do you think it's because it is such a similar line to Rowan? Or is there other dish I don't know about? Please spill! :D<BR/><BR/>I know your Silkies are proving a little difficult in telling you what they want to be, but their latest version is pretty. The pattern works nicely with the variegation, imho. <BR/><BR/>Finally, (am I babbling? probably!) it's great that you have two new nearby LYS, and the holistic store, too. Very handy!Madgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421025911196172814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13741811.post-9228078780202561182007-08-01T21:48:00.000+01:002007-08-01T21:48:00.000+01:00I just love the finished top - it is gorgeous and ...I just love the finished top - it is gorgeous and way better than the original design (which I glanced at and then passed over) yours, I would not only pay loads of money for but would rip off your back and run away with! Really lovely, on second thoughts, you model it so well I won't steal it from you - but it is just gorgeous and I am totally covetous.<BR/> <BR/>Interesting comments on the Rowan Mag - I was having a look through a copy of Rowan42 in Glasgow John Lewis today and initially my heart just sank, eventually getting nearer the middle of the book there were more wearable (conventional / boring?) stuff that I would happily knit, I think I will wait until my copy lands on the floor mat then have another look - maybe it will look better then, but first impressions were not as good as some - I thought at the time I would need to adjust or take ideas rather than actually knit any garments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13741811.post-14945328995468097352007-08-01T21:00:00.001+01:002007-08-01T21:00:00.001+01:00Cute picture!

I think it's just a matter of experience, getting toe-up socks to fit. I only knit toe-up socks! But I basically knit the same basic toe-up sock and plug in stitch patterns. I have the fit thing down pretty well by now.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13741811.post-44140269214620732492007-08-01T21:00:00.000+01:002007-08-01T21:00:00.000+01:00Nothing has struck me as very knittable in the Row...Nothing has struck me as very knittable in the Rowan previews either but it always looks better in the flesh so to speak!<BR/>I love your Foxglove, it does look so nice and a great fit too.<BR/>The new yarn place and holistic store sound good.<BR/>I am glad no bad things have happened for a couple of weeks :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13730130796826375503noreply@blogger.com
