Hanna Falkenberg????

Good luck with your coat, I hope it works out for you. I've never done anything like that so I don't have any words of wisdom for you.

Yikes.... 110 degrees!! Umm yeah, about the comparison to living where it snows.... you also don't have to shovel it... unless you have sand drifts to clear away? LOL

Once in a great while in the dead of winter and I'm freezing my *ss off (how I wish that phrase was accurate... I wouldn't have to worry about trying to exercise it off. LOL), I have a minor wish to be somewhere hot. But in reality, I wouldn't trade my changing seasons for anything! I love all of the different seasons for different reasons. :o)

The Hanne projects I've met were all oversized, aka Herself's patterns. The only blocking the gal did was to sort of straighten everything out. I inherited some Hanne patterns - the finished measurements do in fact look biggish to me. Did your gauge change during the project?

Austin hit 102F the other day - summer is officially here.

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

Nope the gauge didn't change....calls for a size 4 needle, i'm a tight knitter so i'm using a five to get the gauge correct.....but believe me, it's no overly big!

Maggie ???? who and what are those Hanna Falkenberg ?????? things ??????? never heard nore read about her ???? mirjam On Sun, 3 Jul 2005 13:14:04 -0400, "MRH"

Mirjam, she design kits, coats, hats, scarfs, but mostly coats, they are knit all in garder stitch, the one i'm knitting is a ballerina coat, knit from side to side, all in one piece, with about a gazillion short rows for shaping....her kits are quite pricey, mine was $260.00.......but her techniques are fasinating......well worth the money...

Oooh, those are all very pretty! Thank you for sharing the URLs. :o)
