I've acquired a pattern so I can knit a string vest, but it doesn't say what ply the yarn is... I'm trying to get back into knitting, but fear I'll either end up with a baby vest or one for a giant if I don't get the ply right...<br /><br />Thanks for your help.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475218356557625511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422137424280235275.post-59830905081595758222009-09-17T14:33:53.689+01:002009-09-17T14:33:53.689+01:00Lurrvvvvly knitting.

Funny how we (I) used to knit everything in sight once upon a time and despite a knitting revival and the most wonderful and desirable yarns around I cannot get motivated to knit from a pattern any more. I still have piles of patterns that I like the look of, but I never seem to be able to match the pattern to a yarn I like and have it come out the right size!LOVE STITCHING REDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341709061400827643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422137424280235275.post-89664168797195287822009-09-17T10:27:58.145+01:002009-09-17T10:27:58.145+01:00Eeek, I don't knit and I hate my toes, should ...Eeek, I don't knit and I hate my toes, should I go ahead and delete my blog??

I did a sweater here and there but never a whole suit! Your knitting skills are very impressive, (mine are lacking considerably) and what a wonderfully cool photo of you and your two boys!
