]]> Comment on Continental drift by mositch http://darkmatterknits.wordpress.com/2009/04/05/continental-drift/#comment-34 mositch Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:22:27 +0000 http://darkmatterknits.wordpress.com/?p=161#comment-34 Thank you for the cowboy jacket pattern. I have been looking for one for several years. I saw a pattern in Family Circle Knits several years ago but couldn't find it. I think this will work for me. I have two great-nephews who live in Eagleville, CA on a working ranch. They love everything about animals and seemingly have no fear of the horses, cattle, chickens, calves etc. Austin will only wear western style shirts and stovepipe Levi's; Casey hasn't found a preference yet. The sweaters will be late Christmas gifts. It is quite cold where they live - high desert. Again, thank you for the pattern. Thank you for the cowboy jacket pattern.

I learned because my wrists hurt knitting the English way. I found out about continental a while after teaching myself to knit and I was always discouraged with it because I couldn't continental knit as fast as I could with throwing. This past week I just sat myself down and made myself practice until I was up to speed and I'm not going back. lol I love crochet. I actually wish I had learned continental at first because I've been crocheting for much, much longer. It would've been an easier transition.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what the yarn was, as it was gifted to me by a friend and probably purchased years ago. It was a cotton rag yarn. Kind of looked like pulped newspaper.

I've had decent luck with the first 2, having experience with baby spit-up. Good luck. I hope you get the smell out and can give the present like you planned.
