Your step-by-step instructions are great, making it seems simple and less tedious than I imagined. So now I'm more motivated to do the right thing by my knitting. Thanks!  And you look great!

On a knitting note, how do you, (actually me), block a sweater that was knit in one piece. I've made a shrug for my youngest daughter and am not sure how to block it correctly.

Thanks for all you do and give to us.

Have a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.knittingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=21757" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
