I'm so disappointed that you'll no longer be a regular here, but I'll eagerly look forward to the occasional postings you mention. Good luck with the books and other projects. Your work is phenomenal!

Ooh. I'd love to have this book.

I can only imagine how very touched your mother will be on receiving such a beautiful gift, created by you out of something that means so much to each of you. I would love to see her face when she sees it. How sweet of you!

Thanks so much for the idea and instructions. I have 2 questions, if you don't mind answering:

When you say "tiny zig-zag" do you mean tiny stitch length, or tiny zig-zag width, or both?

To felt the wool sweater, is it necessary to wash and dry more than once?

I'm so glad to see these instructions. Very clear. Thank you.

I've been wanting to remove a too-long, too-tight, turtle neck from a sweater that fits nicely otherwise, and had thought of replacing the turtle neck with crocheted trim using the yarn unraveled from the part I remove. I think you've given me the courage to try it - my crochet experience has thus-far been limited to scarves. Would you advise stay-stitching the neckline of the sweater before I cut off the turtle-neck? Any problems you know of, in using unraveled yarn?
