I put that cardigan in my favorites on Ravelry as it may be my first sweater I ever do as I have not done one yet. I finished my 2 oven mitts and felted them. We'll see as far as usability but the insides felted together so I had to pull them apart to get my hands in! I started a new scarf I already had the yarn for and it's a basketweave pattern. I'm improving and learning which is all I can ask for. <br /> Your son sounds like a wonderful young man with big dreams which is as it should be at that age! I hope they all come true for him.<br />I love the shawl too...are those ends curved or are my eyes going? It looks like a really interesting pattern. I get inspired every time I visit your blog...thanks again.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-47730416707381260872012-02-28T10:57:31.065-06:002012-02-28T10:57:31.065-06:00Thanks for your support, Susan.

My boys are always coming up with crazy things they want to do, without much regard for Mom's worries! They have lived adventurous lives, but fascinating. And they have survived and grown to be wonderful young men with their own kids! Sometimes they just need to dream and great if they can tell you their dreams.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572772560036957718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-38758047117293951132012-02-27T15:54:48.982-06:002012-02-27T15:54:48.982-06:00Yikes, he could at least choose someplace WARM to ...Yikes, he could at least choose someplace WARM to go to college!Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-85361100908523668202012-02-27T14:58:15.867-06:002012-02-27T14:58:15.867-06:00ooh, isn't madelinetosh gorgeous!
