Hi Anne! I just barely discovered your blog...long time no talk! If you haven't done the draw already, I'm interested! I spin cotton and love the natural colored cottons. Talked to Sally Fox years ago about them.

More later,

No, he was sitting across from me - but he did disappear when I was ripping it out.....actually he took the dogs with him on a jaunt to the post office, which left me alone to rip it out - and I could do that without two little dogs going "what's this for?" "can we play with it?" "NO" "why not, why not, why not" LOL!!! So I did the deed in solitary silence, stretching it from one end of the livingroom to the other.....winding back and stretching it out again.....it went quite quickly.

The re-knit - not so quickly LOL!

PS D wants to know if A was out when you discovered your mistake. Ha, ha.

Oh, my! Seeing that pile of former Boreal hurts. Will you go right back to it or give a wee rest for awhile? Too classy to abandon, but I know you won't do that.

Dear poor maligned yarn, I will carefully rewind you into your full glory and make sure you get a great home with me. Afterall, I live in Minnesota, I need all the yarn I can get!

My sympathies. I had to rip out the first 6 inches of my Boreal. Gauge issues. I just kept telling myself the finished sweater would be worth it. Yours will be too!

That is interesting, I don't mind ripping out, once I get over being mad that I made a stupid mistake, anyway. I'd love to rip your sweater out.

Would love a chance to "adopt"! I hate ripping too ... but worse is when you get the project all done ... and it looks horrible on you!

Hugs ... oh and I live in Virginia, USA.

THANKS!

I would love to give this poor orphan a new home. I have been looking for some pretty gold, and this could be it. Like you, I think the overall design is a bit much, but that's the great thing about knitting, nothing goes to waste when you can just frog it and start over. Hope I get a chance to adopt your little orphan project.

Very, very tempting and I live in Ontario...but...I've joined two new groups this year - StashDown and Surmount the Stash. Plus I'm saving up my yarn allowance to order some J&S jumperweight for my birthday this February. So tempted though...

Yikes! No second chances in your house, eh? If I hadn't already broken my yarn diet, I'd be tempted to take your vintage Rowan yarn. As it is, some other knitter might use it before 2055...they should have it.
