Comment by Carole Azar on September 24, 2009 at 6:05am: I bought this book a couple of months ago. I love the stories relating to each of the projects. I think the patterns are easy to understand. I am a new knitter and have been practicing lace stitches this summer and feel that I am ready to begin the Julia shawl. Have not decided yet which yarn to use, but I have purchased the Addi turbo circulars. Am eager to begin! Thank you, Alison, for such a beautiful book.

Comment by Annie Marion on September 23, 2009 at 5:05pm: Hi, I'm Annie. I've been knitting Julia's shawl with KnitPicks Gossamer in Sweet Peas. I started this a long time ago but I kept getting lost. So this month I frogged the whole thing and started over. Now I'm on the knit evenly until I'm done part. I stayed on track with the pattern. It actually started making sense to me. I'm using my Addi turbos. The sheer number of stitches sits so nicely on the turbos. I use them for most of my projects whether I'm knitting back and forth or in the round.

Comment by CathyJ248 on June 23, 2009 at 10:29am: I love wooden needles when I am working with a fine yarn and larger needles. I also like wooden needles when working with mohair. The wood or bamboo sort of grips the fibers and helps prevent the yarn from falling off the needle as easily.

Comment by Alison Jeppson Hyde on June 22, 2009 at 10:40pm: Certain yarn and needle combinations can be that way; would switching to, say, a wooden needle give the yarn enough friction to help hold it in place?

Comment by acrononymous on June 17, 2009 at 7:20pm: Ok. I got my book, yarn, picked a pattern. I'm going to lose my mind. I've knitted for 30 years. I've knitted lace and everything under the sun. I picked out Julia's Shawl and a pretty fingering weight yarn. I cannot for the life of me keep the fine yarn from sliding off the size 9 needles. I'm going back to my old book and my size 3's for this weight yarn.

Comment by Alison Jeppson Hyde on June 17, 2009 at 11:33am: Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the book!
