I learned to do both knitting and crochet from computer CDs from Coats&Clark.<br />Depending what the project is, I found that using nubbly yarn hides a multitude of sins - but the trade-off is that you sometimes can't count your stitches as easily and therefore make more mistakes!<br />Keep it up - stellar results for a first (and complicated) project!Candlestringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648193938875923815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25185166.post-26139233415486722572006-10-17T22:42:00.000+00:002006-10-17T22:42:00.000+00:00Do you still want to swap with me?
