Not my style. I was so releived when my sister fell in love with them. Now they can make her feet happy, not hang out in the bottom of my drawer.Knitting Bandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763905105395493610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-7308423782171281202007-09-03T22:56:00.000-04:002007-09-03T22:56:00.000-04:00I would actually be seriously tempted to leave tho...I would actually be seriously tempted to leave those fat little dudes there, with the walls rough.

Although their yarn is yummy, I don't always love some of their colorways and I agree that a plain or semi-plain pattern shows off the yarn the best. My theory is that busy patterns are for solid color yarn, and plain patterns for busy hand-dyed yarn.<BR/><BR/>Waaa...
