Well, Amanda pegged it. “Gee Dave, why didn’t you try working the cables Fair Isle instead of Intarsia?”
Good question. I just didn’t think of it, is all. I don’t know why but it just never occurred to me.
This morning I hooked up with some of the ladies from the Yarn Barn and went up to Austin to bask in the quirky Canuk radiance of The Yarn Harlot, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. I have been wanting to meet her ever since the Knitting Olympics. Not to thank her, mind you – no, I [...]

This got my Monday off to a good start.
