Amazing. I can knit, I can't crochet for toffee though, but to buy a garment and re do it? Whoa! <br /><br />Thanks for the prod on my blog about using a cutting machine. Not before time too - I actually own a Silhouette SD, so I felt pretty stoopid about not having gone straight to it in the first place! LOL So as I've said, THANKS!

Well done for getting the alterations sorted. I too have trouble with long sleeves. I usually cut a thread and undo one row where I want the new length to be, pick up the stitches and knit a ribbing down. I love the colours of the crocheted top, and I have added the crochet book to my Amazon wish-list.<br />I am glad to hear you are on the mend. I hope you manage to shake it off completely by Christmas. I didn't do WOYWW today as I was on a sewing group outing to Granada all day.Take care.<br />Kate xxmamapez5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16882819450456050281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708807491363992142.post-27783255854685005692011-11-30T21:49:01.124+00:002011-11-30T21:49:01.124+00:00Glad to hear you are gradually picking up.
