Re: splitty yarn. I have found that blunt needles like Addi Turbos work better at avoiding splitting the yarn; KP Options are quite pointed and are slowly falling out of favor with me because of those points. But having said all that, I must say that blunt needles might not have worked so well with the twisted stitches.<br /><br />Once again, beautiful sweater!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-74060839571878435082010-07-07T16:28:01.599-07:002010-07-07T16:28:01.599-07:00Looks gorgeous!

I've had that same pattern on my "to do"-list for ages now (I have some Lanark for it in my stash) but somehow I end up postponing the actual knitting of it. I hate twisted stitches (they look good but are pain in the arse to knit) and to read your comments about the actual knitting process... well - I don't know - it looks so nice but could I bare to knit it is another thing entirely (I get easily bored while knitting) <br />Still - maybe the end result would be worth it? At least your gardi is just perfect!A-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425899168593530401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-46167671220464215582010-07-06T20:55:53.896-07:002010-07-06T20:55:53.896-07:00It's a great color and I love the stitch patte...It's a great color and I love the stitch pattern.

Despite all your caveats, seeing it made me want it on top of my to-do list. I have some Harrisville Highland that I have put away just recently to make this, so you're very inspiring. <br /><br />I love anything Harrisville. Their Highland is my desert-island yarn. Vegetable matter is good; that means fewer chemicals during processing. <br /><br />Become one with the vegetable matter.Cynthiahttp://www.stitchyourartout.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-10609697026699428052010-07-06T17:26:40.687-07:002010-07-06T17:26:40.687-07:00I think it is beautiful!I think it is beautiful!Gracey is not my name....https://www.blogger.com/profile/08972825777648546397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-32353791194925623872010-07-06T16:08:09.549-07:002010-07-06T16:08:09.549-07:00beautiful! cooler weather than we have here (95)!beautiful! cooler weather than we have here (95)!Lydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432065838864216001noreply@blogger.com
