I've often wondered how it wore but it was a gift and I've never inquired. <br />After a long knitting hiatus (socks don't count), I'd like to knit something for spring. Not sure what or if I'll even get to it but the idea is there.Lizzhttp://agoodwardrobe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-45497987336532742352012-02-11T11:37:00.007-06:002012-02-11T11:37:00.007-06:00What a pretty color!

It's such a nice style, too-- perfect to throw on when you need a little extra warmth! Oh, and I really like Calmer! I wasn't sure I'd like knitting with cotton, but it makes such a nice, light fabric!<br /><br />I'm still working on cooler weather knitting, for now, mainly because I'm more drawn to fall/winter type cardigans.Gingerhttp://gingermakes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
