Thank you all for all your well wishes and congratulations for my recent marriage! I am the happiest girl alive to have a wonderful husband and such wonderful friends and listeners as you!
If you didn't see them on Ravelry, here are a few photos from the wedding! More to come!
Hi Roue,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog when trying to find someone who spun.
Since you live in Olympia, you might want to check out that issue of the magazine from the library. I just looked at the trl site & this issue is sitting on the shelf in two libraries, so place it on hold “now” for pickup where you go usually. (The only magazine I’ve finally broken down & begun a subscription for is Simply Knitting, because Borders, BN, & Joanns, always got so few in, the new issue would be sold out in a day or two & I only checked every couple of weeks.)
But, you might like this cardigan – garn has 1000’s of free patterns, like Lion Brand, but, as with them, not many for men!

or these his & her cardigans

Lion Brand has a very difficult/time consuming search system, but…. just giving up & typing in men cardigan gives several possibles on this page (several have a women in the photo, but you just reverse the buttons & buttonholes)

take care,

Oh, I want a Kindle cozy! How cute, I can't wait to see what it looks like.:)
ReplyDeleteI live in the south where it is hot and our house is closed up with the air conditioner on from May until the first cool day in the fall. I can think of nothing more refreshing than opening up the windows and letting the fresh air in!
