    The sweather is looking great so far, Franklin. I was looking at some of Zimmerman's books At Amazon.Com and may have to invest in one (or more). Is the sweather you're making knit in one piece? I have a friend that knitted one on circs. in one piece and swears by it. No setting the sleves or anything. I can't wait to see the finished product. It's almost Friday and I hope that you and C have a great weekend.

    That looks great. I'm scared to comment on the colour as I don't trust my monitor but it looks great. Knitting in the round is the best. You'll wow them at Rhinebeck.

    Ah, EZ..... She makes you believe you can do ANYTHING. I know she's empowered me. Beautiful color (if the monitor is to be believed) and I'm impressed with the gauge keeping. May you make and wear in good health!
