And I like nothing better than a tedious pattern! I just finished a fussy lace pattern scarf so something straightforward that I don't have to think about too much would be ideal. I'm going to add this to my list of things to make. <br /><br />I know what you mean about keeping up with blogs, there are so many lovely ones. I've just started spending a couple of focused hours at the weekend reading them, rather than here and there throughout the week. It takes some self-discipline though, which I'm not sure I have enough of :)Kimhttp://spiralspun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-71591285934502562842015-04-04T17:34:08.282+01:002015-04-04T17:34:08.282+01:00Ok I got very excited when I saw this as I printed...Ok I got very excited when I saw this as I printed off this pattern a few months ago and dId a few rows then abandoned it. Yours has turned out beautifully! I really love Drops yarn, although I chose Jenny Watson for this project. You've inspired me to go back to it!

I think three quarter sleeves will be much better than short sleeves, it will bridge the seasons without being too cold to wear without sleeves.

The only thing that worries me is the gatherdyness at the top - not the making of it, the how it will look. I am somewhat over blessed in the boob department and gathering like this seems to make them seem even bigger! Imagine doing all that knitting and then it doesnt even suit! So not sure whether to go for it or not. Do you think the corners at the top where the button and join is could be pinned bqck to make a sort of collar ?

Honestly sometimes I think he must do it on purpose. And I'm with you on the commenting thing. I have been struggling to keep up with returning comments, posting comments and I seem to keep losing my favourite blogs altogether. To be honest I wouldn't worry too much.

I have a fairly sizable wardrobe of black or gray cardigans with all different sleeve lengths because I can throw one on with any outfit. As for the blogging crisis, I understand. We're on spring break this week and I've got very little time for blog-reading. I think it's perfectly fine to comment when you feel like doing so. I certainly don't expect readers to comment on every post I write and I hope they'd extend me the same courtesy! Life is busy.
