I must also confess that I'm glad you finished the sweater because it is lovely. Plus, I have vivid images of your sitting in your pjs on Marilyn's couch knitting this sweater back in April. So great to see it all done and worn by you,Stitch Paradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507932694420483821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-12463293572250004682014-12-23T11:36:21.352-06:002014-12-23T11:36:21.352-06:00Thank you, Michelle.

I bouht some angora in Edinburgh from a local producer, and I've had similar struggles about knitting with it. I have hopes that they produce their yarns ethically. I will eventually knit it. And, I'm glad that you did post this. It's a beautiful sweater. I can only imagine how soft it must be! <br />Michellehttp://www.tresbienensemble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-54298093538732726392014-12-20T17:51:20.956-06:002014-12-20T17:51:20.956-06:00OK, I will try!OK, I will try!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-21693922219774696872014-12-20T17:51:06.287-06:002014-12-20T17:51:06.287-06:00Exactly!

I'm trying to be more thoughtful about my fabric consumption and only make things that I know I will wear and love, but man, it's a complicated issue, isn't it?
