Tiffany Hansen you're welcome :)

FYI: I found these big plastic knitting needles for $8.40 yesterday on the US Amazon site, they look to be alot cheaper than the wooden ones.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WMKXZ0/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A1C5MGHXRGKPQC&psc=1

Sandra Palmer I hope your surgery today went well and you have a quick recovery and feel better soon. Positive healing thoughts and prayers for you.  Miss you too.

Tiffany Hansen lol... right. I keep thinking maybe the list is shorter now because I finished a few projects but nope.  Looks like I can't crochet fast enough to use up all my yarn and I add on more projects more quickly than I can finish them.

you're welcome. It's a really good book that I have and it's a great price. :)

yay! Can't wait to make this.. I'll add it to my long list. :)

Tiffany Hansen  sorry for missing the earlier part of this weeks meeting.  I appreciate being able to watch these replays.  Very good presentation and explanation.  I know I've been learning alot from testing patterns for two different designers as well as making my own sweaters from a few other designers and seeing how the garments are put together and constructed.  I just wanted to add a comment that I learned about last year (ease) that if someone is using a designers pattern, depending on the designer and the pattern they may have added positive or negative ease and if someone is trying to alter garment/pattern to fit them and sizing up they may want to consider what the ease is and add it to their finished garment measurement size.  I'm not sure if folks might be interested in you explaining this... I think it might be helpful if they have an actual project they are applying this to.  Also I've noticed that many designers won't list how much positive/ negative ease the pattern has.

Janet Page you're welcome. I hope that helps.
