They replaced it at my urging, but my sister has been hard pressed to keep the rest in good shape.<BR/><BR/>Oh and btw, looking forward to your book!

Stoneware and true porcelain (fired in the 2100 degree and up range) are a much better choice than earthenware, which is low-fire. Too bad, those dragon-fly dishes are very lovely.<BR/><BR/>The bag is nice, but to me it looks too much like a laptop computer bag. I have the disagreeable problem of having one bag which must do duty as a purse, diaper bag, and knitting bag. And I hate anything which 'looks' like a diaper bag.

It does NOT look like a diaper bag, but a large-ish duffle. It came with 2 useful bags inside, one I used for circular needles and the other for knitting tools. It has an insane number of inside and outside pockets, comes in colors like black and light red, and can be cleaned. The only reason I stopped carrying it was that I crammed too much stuff into it and threw out my back! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for listening and making the shirt in black!Deborah C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10541110133935524762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-74325111404369729052008-01-23T12:56:00.000-05:002008-01-23T12:56:00.000-05:00This gal has been using a nylon gym bag (bought fo...This gal has been using a nylon gym bag (bought for five euros at JC Penneys in Sligo, Ireland!) as a knitting bag for five years now.
