One of my top favorites. Someday when I have a little girl, I would love to name her Willow : ). Your yarn is so amazing. I just can't get over it. Too pretty! Happy Wednesday.<BR/>I am going to send your link to my blogging friend who likes to knit.

Wow, that to...thirty two comments on what to knit? Wow, that totally rocks! I'm sticking with my suggestion fo the side to side cardigan so the stripes go vertically. Fair Isle would be fun that way! You'll probably want to make it symmetrical, so weigh your yarn as you go along. Weigh the blue and the pink before you start a blue and pink stripe, then again when you finish. Make sure you hold back an ounce more than that of each color so you'll have enough for the other side. Am I making sense? That vest on my blog that you asked abpout was indeed knitted side to side with two varrigated yarns.<BR/><BR/>Now if you're feeling bold and daring, cast on 15 stitches, place a marker, cast on 15 more stitches, and make a sweater with mitered squares. Make each square a few rows in one color, and the rest in another color. Your kids in school will go NUTS for it!<BR/><BR/>Your Kool-Aid colors are so bright and vibrant. Excellent job!<BR/><BR/>I was cleaning the garage and found two more bumps of roving from that batch of wool. I thought I had gotten rid of the last of it but I guess I was wrong. 24 fleeces is a gift that just keeps on giving!!roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916948065233137971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-12306067786652557922009-03-03T12:54:00.000-08:002009-03-03T12:54:00.000-08:00Hi Willow, have you decided yet what to make with ...Hi Willow, have you decided yet what to make with this gorgeous yarn??
