Olympic Gold



Made it!!!

We may have lost the Rugby but there was additional encouragement from the BBC with their programme on the links with Patagonia and Wales.

I love this wrap, an easily memorised pattern, fantastic yarn - Elsebeth Lavold Chunky Al in Night Sky and even better than that it fits!!

Hi There:
I knitting the Yoga too. Dawn let me know about yours. Congratulations! It is lovely. I think I should make a hat too.

Hi Yvonne
I hope that this doesn't come out as a rant. I believe that as I have made comments about this it is only right that I say them to you.
I was very unhappy to read that you are asking for volunteers yet again for the Knit'n'Knatter at Glasgow. For the past 2 years I have volunteered, been accepted and then heard no more.
While in the grand scheme of things this counts for zilch, I did take the time and effort to rearrange my days. I would therefore have appreciated a message from youinforming me that my services were not required.

Wow! What a garment. There ought to be platinum medals for masterpieces like that. Hope the blister has healed. Pity you couldn't make it to Skip North, we all had a great time. Must get you over for a Cambridge KTog sometime!

You really did a nice job, and you're right it fits, and it looks good on you!
Where did you buy the Lavold yarn? I noticed she has a new yarn out with hemp.

Congratulations! I love the stitch pattern and the colour. My Olympic Sweater never even saw the light of day so I guess I'm disqualified. I didn't cast on as much as a stitch. Mind you, I was in hospital so I guess I'm excused.
