You know how it is… you meet a yarn online, you give it your address, and then it shows up and it doesn’t look like its profile picture and it doesn’t seem like you’re going to be all that compatible, but you figure you should still give it a chance, because your mama taught you manners and hey, you never know where things might go with someone who isn’t your usual type…

“4 year long bad date”? Hi-LAR-ious!

I know that tone in your words. It ends with “It’s the principle of the thing!,” right? That has gotten me through a few knits I would never have finished otherwise, and was glad that I did. I know you’ll be polka-dot jerseying through this one very soon.

Did you purchase the road bike, and if so, are you enjoying riding it? Our weather has been too wet and windy for me to do any riding, unfortunately.

The Emily sweater is beautiful, and looks great on your sister in law!

There’s a difference between stick-to-it-iveness and masochism. Swap it, I say!

You are far more dedicated than I…my unfinished projects are still lingering at the bottom of my sweater chest, unlikely to be picked up again for quite some time.

I totally understand the feelings towards cotton. I’ve rid my stash of all my cotton, since knitting with it kills my hands. So, no summer knits for me (except for lightweight shawls, perhap), but what I love are the wooly sweaters anyway, so that’s ok!

I am mostly with you on the knitting with cotton. It just isn’t as friendly on my hands, though I have knit a few things that were fine and others that were nearly impossible. I have to wonder if it is the brand of cotton that is doing me in.

Unrelatedly, I have been slowly coming to the realization that while I enjoy making the pullovers I don’t wear them as often as I wear the cardigans I make.

You can do it! I agree–neither bast nor synthetic fibers can match the squishy goodness of wool. But the pullover pattern has great potential, and I’m sure your Frost Flowers will be a lovely rendition.

LOL, what dedication! Good luck finishing it up.
