As soon as I get these hands fixed, may I please request a 'date' with you Merrick and the Ladies? Perhaps at a Tea?

I practiced on small projects when just beginning, the entire time with my holster buckled tightly at my waist - watching Davy Crockett. What a confused child I was!

I fondly recall my very first sweater with two rows of a cable pattern running down the front panels of each side of the buttons - must have been approximately 10 years old, which was nothing more than a mere 25 years ago . . . you do the math! It was the most hideous multicolored purple however, I was convinced it to be pretty groovy at the time.

I do have a question though since it's been so many years having taken on a project, is it still necessary to roll your yarn into those huge balls prior to beginning?

Kudos to all of you for your fascinating concept. Best of luck and have fun y'all.

Come any time ... We'll be happy to refresh your hands and memory
