I'm behind on my reading, so I'll find out in a few minutes how it went for you!<BR/><BR/>You mention knitting from start to finish without difficulties -- If that were the rule I could never make anything but dishcloths!<BR/><BR/>It will feel good when this difficulty is conquered.Marie N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02358976552469177345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-38785824725770724712009-01-20T22:12:00.000+02:002009-01-20T22:12:00.000+02:00Wow.

(Selfish, I know) <BR/>I argue that everyone must, MUST, have to reknit a LOT before they are a really good and experienced knitter. Afterall, the lessons learned from such experiences are priceless and unforgetable.<BR/>This post goes a long way to prove my theory. Especially considering the beauty of the Merry Sheep's Reel.<BR/>Thank you for involuntarily participating in my study :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-58772865447962883672009-01-20T08:02:00.000+02:002009-01-20T08:02:00.000+02:00You are such an inspiration to me!

I don't know how many times I have ripped out because of design problems. But you persevere with your challenging project so I surely can with my simple one.

I usually throw it in a heap on the closet floor. There are projects there for years. 2 that I can think of right now. Someday I will have to make a decision on them. . .but not now. One of them is because of very ill matching hand painted yarn.

Otherwise, it's just a waste of yarn and time. (of course the time to knit what's been ripped out counts as "learning" not "wasting"!) I applaud you and you will have a lovely sweater to wear. I'm planning to make a Margaret once I get a few more necessary projects out of the way.<BR/>Cheers from snowy Maine! --AldonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-2700150068968308402009-01-17T18:47:00.000+02:002009-01-17T18:47:00.000+02:00Just finished the Tangled Yoke cardigan from Fall ...Just finished the Tangled Yoke cardigan from Fall 2007 Interweave--was the bane of my existence at several points.
