I wonder if your sweater grows in length when you wear it...the only silk blend I have knit with was 70/30 merino/silk, and I swear that sweater grew an inch longer each time I wore it. I never realized silk was so heavy.

I always got my catalogs at the BdF warehouse cheap and they never had the English versions. I have another guy for the porch... I suppose it's not trivial. The posts for the deck are sinking and need to be jacked. We want door access from the inside, some electrical And of course, we need to extend the deck to another door on the outside. Still, $25,000 is ridiculous I agree.Dayana Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193314551611780584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756650113719377578.post-13562045351336934152015-06-24T10:59:52.715-04:002015-06-24T10:59:52.715-04:00Thank you Pragti, as always!Thank you Pragti, as always!Dayana Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193314551611780584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756650113719377578.post-16653141056495197372015-06-24T10:59:40.955-04:002015-06-24T10:59:40.955-04:00That brown one is in acrylic too, yuck!

And this quote for a screened porch is totally ridiculous. I bet they realized you were not Maine natives and doubled it. Seriously!
