Re: How is everyone?
Melisande, sorry to hear how complicated and tough this all this on the
kids -- but yeah, not surprised. Hope that Baird's and Ezra's school

Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!
I absolutely have never managed to learn to knit backwards, but I¡¯ve found that two-handed purling isn¡¯t too bad (for me) and even adapted the Philosopher¡¯s Wool method to work with purling,

Re: How is everyone?
I¡¯m sorry to read that things are so rough for you Jenny, and about the extra challenges and frustrations the pandemic is bringing to others too.
At the moment, we¡¯re keeping on here. After a

Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!
Thanks Jaya and Steph for this...filing away for the yoke of my Wild Apple,
if/when I get to it - I want to do it as a cardigan.
Looking forward to seeing a couple of finished Swedish Heartwarmers

Re: How is everyone?
Zoom first: don't worry about me - probably I would stay away anyhow, I
still work a lot of hours on the computer and really don't enjoy
socializing there.
Amy, congratulations on the retirement!

Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!
Yes, I'm using Mountain Colors Bearfoot, which is grabby but I think I will

Re: How is everyone?
Lovely to hear so much news from everyone.
A group call sounds great, but better leave me out of it at the moment, my life is too uncertain. Maybe in a week or two¡¡.

Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!
I can¡¯t remember, and can¡¯t check because I don¡¯t have it at home. From the photo I think you¡¯re right. It makes sense to keep the floats short so they don¡¯t catch on stuff. If you¡¯re

Zoom call interest poll
I thought I'd move this to its own thread so others can ignore it.
If there is enough interest, we can work out times. So right now, tell me
if you want to participate and what days/times are NOT

Re: How is everyone?
No, it doesn't take Jenny into account. Europe + Australia + US PDT doesn't
work very well. I used to have to do this in China and I think, iirc, that

Re: How is everyone?
Laura,
I thought I saw a new dog in your IG feed. I'm sorry it didn't work out.
All the best to you in getting a new one and coping with work and the
isolation through the winter.

Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!
Steph,
I had a question after watching the video. Maybe you'll remember. It looks
