Hi Wendy!
I looked at your photo album of vests (thanks for adding mine!) - if you look at Kathy Chantrells page she has pictures of 2 of your vests (blues and stripey) - thought I would mention it incase you want to keep a full tally?? I'll be starting my next one this week.

kathryn Senior said… Hi thanks for your lovely comments about my go over. I love knitting them and trying to make them extra warm. I always double up the wool so they are nice and thick and I love trying to make them bright and fun also. x

Arlene Guerin said… Thank you Wendy, My son did a 3 second sketch of the the boat and I graphed his idea. I'm still learning intarsia. Thanks for the encouraging comment! The little Izzy doll is fun to make and I hope some child will enjoy it too.

I'm glad you liked my jewel squares :-) But your talents are not "meagre"! Your photos all show good quality knitting and your sense of colour-mixing is wonderful!

Julia Dee said… Wendy thank you for your comments on my blanket. I cannot crochet either !!!! I can only do one stitch !!!! I have downloaded and tried to follow the tutorials on U-Tube for granny squares but I have to keep stopping it and ....say a few choice words.....then try again. Just by trial and error I can manage this one stitch I think it is a double crochet stitch. Like you I want to be able to crochet rather than knit when I am travelling and knitting needles are not very friendly if you have people sat either side of you. I take a bamboo crochet hook with me on flights now and nobody has objected yet whereas I would not try to get a pair of knitting needles on a flight as I am sure they would be classed as a "dangerous object". I use a 6mm hook and use two strands of DK wool. I personally think that the thicker the wool the easier it is to crochet...just what I have found. Give it a try. I still love my knitting but now I can crochet in a departure lounge and do not invade anyone elses space....and it is a good way of spreading the word about KAS as people often ask what I am making. Best wishes for 2012 Julia

Happy New Year Wendy!
I just wanted to let you know I have finished my first Wendy - Baby Ves. I really enjoyed knitting it, and it looks so lovely in real life. Thankyou so much for sharing the pattern, it will be used a lot from now on! I love the fact that the top section has such a lovely shape to it. Happy knitting, Kathyxx

Bev Jeffery said… Hi Wendy
Thanks so much for that info. I thought we had to use 6mm when I started knitting for KAS so I bought 3 or 4 pr. so I could have a few different things to knit at the same time if I wanted and I also bought some 6mm to send to S. Africa for the go-gos to knit with. But as I mentioned before I have been a bit disappointed in plain coloured squares as they seem too loose and thin. Like you I have bought a particular brand called 'Needles' and with the plain colours it seems to knit up thinner and looser than the varigated. Well, I have a couple of pairs of 5mm so think perhaps I will try those. Thanks again for your help. :-)
