Pipe Dreams and Purling Plans

Just Checking in to Say…

August 7th, 2007 by mel

Good morning from beautiful Shelburne, VT! This will be brief as our lovely niece AB will be up soon and I think that I might be highjacking someone’s wireless network - oops ;)

A couple of quick things:

The 3Day was AMAZING - the 60 miles just flew by and suddenly, sadly it was over again - until next year! I can’t wait to share some of the stories, pics and video clips with you - and of course, draw names for the contest! Thanks so much for your support of this great cause and incredible event!

AND….

MagKnits is up! I can hardly believe it, but there she is, my little Summer Sky! I feel a need to confess that as this was my first design, the pattern-writing was a bit of a bear. Please, if there is anyone out there who wants to make it, feel free to contact me with questions, and any feedback is most welcome - it will only help me improve.

We’ll make our way home this weekend - Talk to you soon!

    I came from Magknits as well, and love the little cardi. Would love to hear more about how you designed, it and any tips on how to adjust it for different shaped persons (ie small shoulders, big boobs) much appreciated!

    What a lovely design; I’ll be making it soon! Thanks for including such a broad range of sizes; I have about a 31 inch bust, but have a lot of potential gift recipients who would love this who are larger than that. Very considerate, and well done!
