On the Edge..

I'm torn - the postman brought 2 packages this morning and I had to decide which one to knit!

The first is the lovely Harris DK, in Thistle. to make Coco thanks for excellent service as always from Get Knitted Remember that I hate knitting rib - well I hate moss stitch even more, so how come I'm already up to the pocket placement on a front? Must be a combination of the antibiotics and watching all the fabulous moss stitch done by Amelia last year - she's brainwashed me into thinking I can do it.

The second was the inspiration for my "Edgy Exchange" a pattern from the Yarn Barn in the USA. The list moms have paired me with a knitter whose work I envy - this is going to push me to do my best. Yes, I've cast on for that as well and done the first 30 rows, I think it will work well. Having read and memorised every word in my recipients blurb I hope I've chosen wisely and that they will enjoy the yarn from my vintage stash.

It's not that bad - and the results are fantastic. Then again, maybe it's just a case of time lessening the pain! A.x

Hope you're starting to feel better. I agree about moss stitch - am currently marooned in the middle of a moss stitch baby blanket, not fun at all!

Dear Yvonne,
I love Charms from the Rowan but the thought of all that moss stitch overwhelms me,
Regards Linda
