Your neckwarmer is beautiful!<br /><br />And, Yes, do taste the damson gin!Dimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313315926201426600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-65375191836587553212011-12-22T13:58:37.768+00:002011-12-22T13:58:37.768+00:00Re: the damson.... only if you share!
Re: the nec...Re: the damson.... only if you share!<br /><br />Re: the neck warmer... I recently made my first as a gift for a friend in Italy. I made it much longer, and a bit wider, so it pulls up over the head as a hood as well! Love the colors in yours. Since I crochet instead of knitting, I used a bi-colored yarn to get my variation.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-76417080532585006302011-12-20T15:15:24.197+00:002011-12-20T15:15:24.197+00:00Very nice stitch and colour combo Elizabeth.

I remember knitting the boys jumpers in the round when they were little - one was bright red with a white bear's face, was very popular and easy. There is also less sewing up to do!Helen/patientgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164036792673009326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-73896598339218803492011-12-19T15:08:13.341+00:002011-12-19T15:08:13.341+00:00I suspect my real talents lie with damson gin tast...I suspect my real talents lie with damson gin tasting rather than knitting but I am getting better!Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-56316050663732307042011-12-19T14:00:18.342+00:002011-12-19T14:00:18.342+00:00Making a Roman blind nearly pushed me over the edg...Making a Roman blind nearly pushed me over the edge two weekends ago, so I may take some time before becoming a crafty blogger!

You make me very envious - in the great crocheting boom - when? Late 1970s? I once cricheted an egg cosy but found bigger projects beyond me. Not sure it ever got used, though.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-32106818219404054962011-12-18T17:33:29.301+00:002011-12-18T17:33:29.301+00:00Oh I do like that neck warmer.

I love knitting in the round as you don't need to think about it you just knit and knit but usually I make bags, think I might need to start making neck warmers! I'll definitely need to look out that book thanks Elizabeth.<br />& I think you need to check just for quality control purposes that the gin is A OK, although it might take a glass or two before you're completely sure! ;)<br />CKxCalico Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054839834452087857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-13265028810889218052011-12-18T17:11:52.291+00:002011-12-18T17:11:52.291+00:00Absolutely, get a small glass out and do some qual...Absolutely, get a small glass out and do some quality assurance!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-17364584286899226572011-12-18T16:55:47.254+00:002011-12-18T16:55:47.254+00:00I think that you must make it a priority to conduc...I think that you must make it a priority to conduct some serious consumer research into that damson gin Elisabeth before proffering it to others.
