Beyond that I feel quite done working with thick yarn. I don't even want to wear thick knits anymore.<br /><br />This will also give me a no-risk chance to work a crocheted steek because if it doesn't work I won't be heartbroken about it.Sel and Poivrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675373771037014713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838180975381508469.post-40513035155226307222012-02-08T12:43:15.151-05:002012-02-08T12:43:15.151-05:00Been there.

Hate to be a party pooper, but if you don't think it will work, maybe you can salvage the yarn.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751829480377882527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838180975381508469.post-89390590650994278922012-02-07T15:00:00.244-05:002012-02-07T15:00:00.244-05:00Its not a question of gauge but rather of style. I...Its not a question of gauge but rather of style. I thought a big boxy pullover would be fine but the armholes are huge (to accommodate the math of the yoke construction)while the cuffs are pretty narrow and then the length, relative to the overall style is just, well out of style....way out of style. I had determined to knit EZ's version without messing with it and I guess I ended up with a mess!Sel and Poivrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675373771037014713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838180975381508469.post-54551390154647355372012-02-07T14:10:42.058-05:002012-02-07T14:10:42.058-05:00How did that beast come to be on your needles?
