If I recall, you (Rudee) are a mere child in comparison. ;-)<br /><br />Perhaps you should share the shawl pattern's name so that one of us doesn't make the same mistake. The knitting group leader at my LYS has made entrelac mittens in Noro and in the Plymouth yarn that looks similar but isn't so bulky. While both pairs fit, the Noro pair looks huge. I like entrelac but I'm not convinced I really like the pattern (at least not this particular one) very much.Knittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194307677813885580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-70071786710513169022012-09-23T19:57:44.064-04:002012-09-23T19:57:44.064-04:00I have been in a couple of different stores this w...I have been in a couple of different stores this week, eyeing a couple of different aisles of fabulous yarn and wondering about you, Sapph and Yart - and what your current projects are. These are really nice looking. Love the knobby wrists. And the color combination is special. So much fun when you can do it yourself, isn't it?<br /> <br />I read the title [at first] as FRuitility and the cure" - and I thought utility fruit? Huh? giggle<br /> <br />I think I need dinner and bed. All this gorgeous weather is affecting my brain.<br /> <br />BTW - Veriest of happy birthdays. I cannot believe you are 60. I look at you and think your my age. You look amazing and act so young! Hope it was great - and I also didn't realize we were born so close together. :)SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-58588133436429708822012-09-23T12:46:48.706-04:002012-09-23T12:46:48.706-04:00it is hilarious to me that you find that mitten pa...it is hilarious to me that you find that mitten pattern to be simple. hilarious. your skills know no bounds. even the shawl.lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-73985254581020351632012-09-23T08:27:56.963-04:002012-09-23T08:27:56.963-04:00I'm sorry you had such a rough time with that ...I'm sorry you had such a rough time with that shawl pattern.<br /><br />I like that mitten pattern.

It's a cardigan and I've ripped back both fronts twice each. I am perservering because I am stubborn. It took me a while to figure out K4B as well by the way. It's a pretty pattern though. I keep wanting to try it on a cardigan border. Too bad about your lace. Block it and you may get a surprise...ciaoRosittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722304052321553692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-82002883664612803072012-09-22T23:23:43.521-04:002012-09-22T23:23:43.521-04:00I love that color combination.

My favorite job growing up was working the old scraps sewn into one long string.<br />Then I would make rugs with that. Little did I know I was doing crochet.<br /><br />I like big pieces to do myself like simple scarves, shawls, afghans but I absolutely adore doilies and cannot see the tiny thread and needle.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-85738026268415873852012-09-22T20:56:52.186-04:002012-09-22T20:56:52.186-04:00I've had that pattern for awhile too, but have...I've had that pattern for awhile too, but have yet to try it out.

I love the mittens. I have been making a few baby cocoons for my daughter's photography. We still need a baby to put them in so I see how they will look.
