I`ll have to have some of the kydd too, SK. We have the same color picks. We usually do, don`t we? ;-}
I was glad to send you the newsletter but now it`ll be a better picture for you to see the yarns. We`ll still have to have our yarn discussions every month. :-}

Benne: BB just ordered Victoria lace and Heirloom lace knitting for me. It will arrive before 22nd Dec. I will have something to read around Xmas.I want to order the artic lace also, but it said that will be ship in 3-6 week. I don`t want to hold up my other books. Will order separately. Your list of books are so long. It will take me a while to get them all. SK

Oh good, SK! Of all the people in the world who need this book, it is you! Tell BB his gift will earn him all kinds of good points with you. ;-} I checked and Ann has the Arctic Lace book back in stock so you can have it before Christmas too. :-}

I can`t wait to see what you make from those books, Shui Kuen. There`ve been so many positive things written about that book, I plan to ask Santa-hubby for it too!

Bets: ask! you will get it. I wanted that heirloom book for quite awhile but it is very expensive ($64 plus tax). BB kept telling me to get it. I got a lot of books on Benne`s book list but a lot missing, too. SK

Thank you Benne. I am going to check it out. I got one of Starmore`s book here at Elann for 25$ and Amazon sells for over 50 dollars a used one. Benne, your list is too long. SK

Your bucket hat is done. I will send to you. I made myself EZ`s maltese fisherman hat instead. Thank you for the bag wool yarn. SK

I think it is in the Knitter`s Almanac, Bets, but I can`t find any of my several copies to confirm this. If you have it, give a look - it might be in the chapter with a few hats.
It is NOT in Knitting Without Tears. That I CAN find, and I just checked it.

Oh, look, a new red chapeau for ME! :-} Thank you, SK. I`ll be watching for it. Tony better not show up wearing it. HA! The weather here is warming up and sunny and Thom is home. I may be able to get some pictures today wearing my new pretties.

I finished the first repeat of nupp and on my second. I struggles at first. Now I actually enjoy working on it using Bets` crochet method. I think I will gain speed after each repeat. Where are you?

No knitting at all yesterday, SK. Thom and I sat on the front porch yesterday evening and talked and watched the birds and ducks. Today, I knit, will finish the first chart and decide if I am going to do another set of repeats for size. I tried the nupp stitch a few days ago and the purl 5 together. I managed them in practice, let`s hope I can do them on the shawl. :-}

Benne, for the purl 5 together, did you try: slip 4 stitches onto right hand needle, purl the next stitch, pass the 4 slipped stitches, one at a time, over the stitch just purled and off the needle. As long as I do them all the same way, the decreases look fine. I can keep a more even tension than with trying to move five stitches at once.

Thanks, Alice, I will try that if I run into trouble. When I tried the purl 5 together, I didn`t have trouble with it. Of course, that was on the practice piece. ;-} I really think it`s due to the new addi lace needles I`m using and that the hemp is a little wiry.
