Aurora mohair -- suggestions please Thank you! I agree, softness does vary from brand to brand. I think the Aurora is tolerable as a second layer. I`ll give the conditioner a try after a good soak in Eucalan. I guess you`d use the same amount of conditioner as you would on your own hair? It`s worth a shot. I`m going to give the circle wrap in conjunction with a nice thick turtleneck :)

Thanks again for your help!

The Grinch stole my holiday plans and time! Whining follows I agree with SK. Be the Queen. Feel the Queen. Embrace the Queen. You can be an elf next year. Whatever you do, DO NOT CLEAN the house. I do this all of the time. It gets easier with practice :)

totally OT-Emergency DH gifts-- Here, here for Undie Claus. Why is that some men won`t buy their own? I guess they don`t worry about binding, bunching and VPL.

Feeling Puny That`s a lot of stuff for one person to have to deal with. I don`t blame you for wanting to skip Christmas all together--it`s so out of control these days. Do what you can do and forget the rest. Enjoy the couch--that`s where I`m heading right now :)

Marie- I agree with Grace--really, really gorgeous! Anything with cables or lace really requires my full attention. How do you knit such beautiful, complicated scarves so quickly? You must chart them first (pleasepleasesayyoudo.)

Marie- Oh no, I meant, you sit down and make a plan (or a chart) before you actually start knitting. My version of knitting a scarf is K1,P1.... or, I like this one even better--knit all rows until I run out of yarn.

I`m glad you`re keeping this one for yourself!

An unpleasant surprise... The nerve of some people--to rip a pattern out of a book. Shame on them. Re the gaiter: If it is the gaiter on page 37, the co is 176. The gaiter is knit in blue sky alpacas alpaca and silk; 146 yds/100g) Calls for US6 needles.

kellygirl Hi Laura,

It`s the reversible wrap that Elann featured when the Aurora mohair was being offered. It`s basically the same free pattern as shown with the Mr. Joe Montepulciano--it`s in the free pattern section.

Diane and all other Calorimetry knitters Hmm, I did the usual bind off. I didn`t notice anything wonky. Maybe you were binding off too tight?

Kellygirl I checked--the pattern is the same except the aurora version has fewer increase rounds than the mr. joe version.

Diane and all other Calorimetry knitters I had to read the pattern through several times to figure it out. Finally, I just cast on and figured that I would just do what it said to do and hope for the best.

Do you remember the Kelly Girl ads? Definitely pre-feminist but through a child`s eyes, pretty glamorous. I should probably be Kellywomyn but it just doesn`t have that ring to it :)

I`m in hot water! OT I agree with CBM--nothing lifts the spirits better than a nice, hot shower. Sounds like it got your elf mojo going too!
