I wanted the calorimetrie my daughter made for me to shrink, and I misdreaded the poor thing, but it never shrank. You encourage me to finally start on a vest or cardigan for myself. Maybe I hold off on my next blanket and knit something for myself. ;o)Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088557380015172558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21074148.post-6013404893987131602007-07-17T08:41:00.000-04:002007-07-17T08:41:00.000-04:00Looks great, I love the neckline especially...Looks great, I love the neckline especially...The A.D.D.
