I love to knit, and do quite a bit of it, but some of those patterns look a bit complex. that one with the ruffled on the backside is too bizarre for words!!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08424489590437278846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-22351279250292432512009-03-18T13:26:00.000-07:002009-03-18T13:26:00.000-07:00Rhet- It was the sagging and the getting picked on...Rhet- It was the sagging and the getting picked on things that seemed to be one problem. The other was layer after layer of knit stuff--- I mean, a good knit sweater is warm. But layers of the stuff... yipes! <BR/><BR/>I think it's why none of the models look happy.<BR/><BR/>Chyna- And then you'd catch a thread on your chair, or the door knob or something... and WOOO! Chyna's got runners in her skirt! :) Your office would be lively, anyway.<BR/><BR/>Carolina- Heh, yes, I can only imagine. I somehow don't think it's as appropriate for travel in all climates, as they claim! :) Glad you had fun with it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-89131830509610096912009-03-18T08:59:00.000-07:002009-03-18T08:59:00.000-07:00I live in the Canary Islands (spain) and consideri...I live in the Canary Islands (spain) and considering the temperatures we're having already, this clothes give me the creeps! <BR/>Had a good laugh with your writing though - as I always do here!
