She was less impressed when informed no, I do not have this yarn in the stash. (shocking, I know) So we looked it up and she nearly fell out when informed that the designated yarn for that thing was about $500. Yikes! So, we stash dove. Now, this was a major undertaking, since I had told her that to my knowledge, I had one skein of 100% cashmere around here somewhere but had taken it off my desk (where I could pat it but the yarn thieving animals were also stealing it) we were hunting that up so that she could pat it. Now, while hunting for that, we patted many a yarn (it's a multi-room stash) and many were considered and discarded (itchy, don't have enough, wrong gauge, etc) when she chanced upon my bag of odd ball Montera and Maya. Pat, pat, pat, pat. Sorry the Maya is discontinued. Can we make this cabled hat from Montera? - why yes. Particularly since I can order you up some additional natural ASAP. So, we leap right from learning knitting and purling on a swatch of, shall we say, interesting configuration, to knitting this hat. Which has 5 pieces, cables in multi directions, and tassles. She already has decided to nix the bobbles, so we have some knitter attitude in the making. And we're off into learning charts. Hit the road running, she did. We're on row 11 of the first section. At this rate it'll be done by Xmas, if she persists. If not, and it's abandoned here, I will have the hard choice of whether to finish it for her (bad example I think) or not (I hate a UFO hanging around)<BR/><BR/>I think perhaps you should forward her today's entry. 8-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-76557925238602712432007-08-09T23:12:00.000-04:002007-08-09T23:12:00.000-04:00I think you know you're a Knitter when Ravelry sen...I think you know you're a Knitter when Ravelry sends people to your blog .... which, by the way, should be your next warning - BLOG ADDICTION - spending every spare moment at the computer, searching for the internet cafes when you're away from your usual supplier at home, sleepless at night when you haven't had your daily dose, in dreamy euphoria when you get a hit that is just out of this world, neglecting your usual duties, eating baked beans out of the tin over a keyboard - I could go on, but please - warn them all what happens once they taste blogland.Flea-Biteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865358390264251068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-55782937122038319312007-08-09T21:02:00.000-04:002007-08-09T21:02:00.000-04:00I WUVU, Fwankwin...all the more now that I've thri...I WUVU, Fwankwin...all the more now that I've thrilled to the meter and tight pace (swoon) of your photo-enhanced thank you note. <BR/><BR/>Who WAS that masked gifter, anyway?
