I had written for information, and the subscription cost to do it from the U.S. was so outrageously high that I didn't consider it any further. I would have been very disappointed too.<br /><br />(My verification word sounds like something from an old comic book - powhit)Elizabeth Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019916259737155294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901591940157862109.post-26023843401515185942010-08-29T21:03:16.403+01:002010-08-29T21:03:16.403+01:00This is the first year I have done the mystery bla...This is the first year I have done the mystery blanket and I have been a little disappointed.I decided to do it having seen last year's.I am frantically trying to catch up before next weeks parcel arrives.I havn't sewn any ends in or blocked any squares(I have some rectangles!).I am just hoping it all comes together in the end.I am sure it will.Will I do next year's?Maybe.Good luck with yours.busybusybeejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570020362062932692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901591940157862109.post-8660538004849717072010-08-29T19:49:30.790+01:002010-08-29T19:49:30.790+01:00Mmm....I can see what you mean about the mystery b...Mmm....I can see what you mean about the mystery blanket and having seen it in real life, although it's beautifully knitted and some of the designs are fab some of the colours are a little odd. Mind you, I bet it'll look gorgeous when it's finished and all those colours will work together.<br /><br />As for those dratted Nutkins, I think I might agree. I'm at heel turn stage on my first and even though I've gone up two needle sizes there's still not much give in it and it's twisting like a twisty thing. I'm not loving them.<br /><br />Shall we both frog?<br /><br />xxxMrs Mooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557955127436410152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901591940157862109.post-82320120822724932392010-08-29T19:44:28.713+01:002010-08-29T19:44:28.713+01:00Hmmmmm, Missus Moogs was telling me t'other d...Hmmmmm, Missus Moogs was telling me t'other day how nice Nutkin was! But if you're not loving it and you really love the wool then I would definitely recommend unravelling it and starting again.

Sometimes lovely sock yarn needs a super simple pattern -- at least that's my excuse for knitting lots of plain socks!<br /><br />My secret word here today is trapatee -- make up a sock pattern and call them Trapatees!Mary deBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239201755151355538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901591940157862109.post-30686104922719492122010-08-29T18:24:42.913+01:002010-08-29T18:24:42.913+01:00Rip out the socks!

It was a marvel!<br /><br />There was a thread on ravelry about the nutkin twist and how to minimize it, but it seems to me there is a spiral inherent in the design. It would make me quite peevish for my socks to feel twisty all the time. No-Purl Monkeys are my nutkin substitute. :)Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901591940157862109.post-68034087311391525682010-08-29T17:13:12.081+01:002010-08-29T17:13:12.081+01:00frog it and knit something you enjoy knitting and ...frog it and knit something you enjoy knitting and will get some use out of<br />jennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901591940157862109.post-63921126350078875922010-08-29T17:07:40.957+01:002010-08-29T17:07:40.957+01:00be ruthless - frog it and knit a sock that you wil...be ruthless - frog it and knit a sock that you will love as its such gorgeous yarn!<br /><br />xxwonderwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579842390454607027noreply@blogger.com
