Hi Desiknitter,

My mother will be delighted that you found the pattern so easy to knit, I think she would recommend reblocking but if you’d like to ask her yourself, try her on sowerby001@ukonline.com.

She has a book of lace knits coming out very shortly and she always wants to know if she can add any extra details to make the patterns easier to follow and the designs easier to wear!

Thanks, Manasi! I checked out your store, btw, and it’s really doing very well! I am on a yarn diet right now, but will be looking out for some worsted weight very soon and will visit again.

Thanks, all! Even if it isn’t cold enough to wear this winter (not that I’m complaining about it, really), it is nice to photograph the set and get comments on the blog about it.

Pretty scarf set. Try to forget about the bad landlord memories; it’s too pretty to have bad memories attached! You might have to reblock. I can’t work with mohair because of an allergy, but I know I need to reblock one of my 100% alpaca shawls.

Loverly. Even if stretched or fuzzed or whatever happened to it. I had shape-holding problems with their 100 % mohair for me, too. I did a simple garter stitch scarf that stretched so very far out that it ended up almost twice the intended length.

Very pretty and cozy-looking set…sorry about the bad memories with it

Also, thanks for the tip on All-Seasons Cotton being machine washable, definitely a good thing to know! I hate hand washing!
