I am presently completing the third pair of Nicholas fingerless gloves and may yet knit a fourth pair. They are all gifts. However, I have changed the name of the gloves to "Mommy" gloves. All the new mommies in my life are getting a pair PLUS the gothic young friend who would only wear black but mentioned she wanted a pair. Everyone is raving over the gloves. Both the recipients and admirers and those that see me working on the projects with all those needles say I am showing off. Thanks for the pattern.

Has anyone completed the celtic bag - I have always read patterns right to left but on row 35 - the pattern seems to be left to right. Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I just read this post. Seeing the Swing Jacket on you, Sandi, along with others saying they are swatching or starting a project from this issue, has convinced me to start this jacket. Of course, I fell in love with it for three reasons: first, it looks easy; second, I love seed stitch; third, and most important, my name is Rosemary. I like the idea of having projects modeled. Also, can you include models in the magazine and online who have gray hair!

Hi!

I was looking at Jess' Gansey and I'd love to make it but I wondered if you could tell me about how much of that second cone I'm really gonna need for the 41 1/2" size. The cones are $55 each and I'm on a limited budget so I'd like to buy the 100gm wind-offs if I can, but I'm not sure how many I'd need...

Thanx!

Well at least the Gansey has let me off the hook, I hate short sleeves.

Unless.......it would not be too dificult to adapt them....

Aggggh. I am an adict!

Need a CLEAR knitting and crochet academic advising goals and types and definitions of all kinds of knitting and crochet so I can make myself a checklist.

Set-In Sleeves saved my life (and turned a UFO into a completed project) I live in FL so even tho I loved most of the sweaters (I LOVE CABLES)they aren't practical in this heat unless I can convert them to cotton or a cotton blend.

You're right - more than one. Particularly the swing jacket, but it was the picture of you, Sandi, wearing it that sold me. I would have passed it right by in the magazine, thinking it hadn't been designed as well as it might have been.

It's now on my list!

This issue really looks good to me with many more practicle designs. I was delighted to see Jess's Gansey as I have been looking for a pattern with the gage I could adapt to yarn I have. I'll surely keep this issue for future reference since there were so many I liked.

I really enjoyed this issue. Compared to some of the previous issues, I see 4 or 5 designs that I would enjoy making.

Thanks, Sandi, for your wonderful, witty articles. Please keep on offering surveys, asking questions that beg us to answer them, and advertising books that newbies to this site probably haven't heard of, much less bought.

I've appreciated the Stitch of the Day. If this free service ran less time than formerly planned, that's OK. Plans change.

I love the Henley Perfected and want to make it as soon as possible, in some wonderful shade of purple, of course.

Keep up the good work!

Oh Barbara H,you are so right! I just downloaded the cat's paw scarf. But her designs are great!

I love Interweave Knits, truly I do. But this issue did not do what Sandi describes. This issue, there were NO items that reached out and begged me to knit them. It was a disappointment, 'cause I love that feeling. The only one that came close was the cover, which is really lovely. And, forgive me, but the models looked different, too--less like the real people, occasionally even people I know, who usually adorn your pages. If this issue represents recent editorial decisions, please reconsider. Thanks--Luisa
