I suppose you could add a nice flattish button so I can be buttoned in place? Or add a shawl pin to the gift package?<BR/><BR/>Hope work eases up in the coming weeks... I don't know how people like doctors, nurses, psychologists, police, ambulance officers, and the like - <B>and </B> barristers - handle the stresses of working in crisis and distressing situations so often.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137577463781242181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768883518483631514.post-13159044434321167922007-08-26T16:04:00.000-07:002007-08-26T16:04:00.000-07:00Tanya, I am in awe of your finished projects and t...Tanya, I am in awe of your finished projects and the socks. When you take to something, you go the whole hog huh? The scarf is amazing, your nemesis jumper is just lovely and your brother will love it I'm sure, and the socks. Wow.

Im sure your brother will love it, and congratulations on meeting your deadline. <BR/><BR/>The scarf looks lovely, a gorgeous bold colour. I've only blocked once myself, so dont have much advice to offer Im afraid.<BR/><BR/>I love that passionfruit colourway, it comes up a treat in that pattern.Georgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540746821149865564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768883518483631514.post-78096936739220566912007-08-26T05:21:00.000-07:002007-08-26T05:21:00.000-07:00Well done you on the jumper - such a big undertaki...Well done you on the jumper - such a big undertaking, you've done a great job!<BR/><BR/>I reckon you could do the scarf a little more, but as Bells said, you don't want to go too far. I've never done this (because I haven't blocked any straight edged lace!), but a good tip I've read when blocking lace is to thread a piece of string/cotton up the straight side, and pin it at either end - that way you don't get "pin scallops" (unless you want them of course!). Great job on the knitting - love the pattern and the colour.Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768883518483631514.post-25169135513164522182007-08-26T00:48:00.000-07:002007-08-26T00:48:00.000-07:00Well done you!

I have been meaning to ask, how much wear will a Queensland boy get out of a big, brown jumper???<BR/><BR/>Scarf looks marvellous. I think you can stretch these things as much as you can without losing the shape. Once it looks stretched beyond what the pattern can take, you've gone too far but others may think differently. I'm not overly experienced.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE those socks. I think I am going to make some again very, very soon.Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.com
