Thank you for your assistance. After the Holidays I will order a few skeins to see how I react to the Suri Dream. If I'm okay with it I'm going to try the jacket which calls for Fantistica by GGH/Muench Yarns(wool/acrylic/alpaca/nylon), super bulky yarn. The pattern calls for size 17 needles and the gauge is 8 sts & 11 rows = 4 in.
Hi! Recently I ordered my first set of Options needles with cables but I've lost the key to tighten the needles. Are the keys available for purchase? Thanks!
hi, Stacy,
Thanks for the information about a size 5 in the sweater kit. I also need to make one size 12 -- would that be a size 7 needle and the 28" directions? Or should I use the 32" directions?
Will the color blocks come out OK in the size 5 if I use a smaller needle and follow the pattern? I'll measure the sleeve so at least they won't hang to his knees.
Sorry to be such a bother.
Wouldn't it have been a little easier if the sizes and measurements were printed in the instructions? that way we inexperienced knitters would have something to go by.
Thanks so much for your prompt attention to this. Tomorrow is a football day and I expect to get a good start on the sweater. Sincerely, Gail
thanks stacey i think i will go with the swish as i am so very pleased with the dk
will hurry up and choose a colour

hi stacey
last friday i received my order thanks for getting it to me so quickly
i absoulutely love the swish dk it was perfect for my project and the tension gauge i knitted measured exactly with the recommended yarn
there is just one thing i would like to ask
i had ordered the colour card for the swish dk and see that not all of the colours available are on the card
as i would like a sample of every colour is there another number to order the rest of the colours
even the colour petal i purchased is not on it which by the way is really nice kind of a mauve hue to it
the card i received is mostly fall colours
please let me know as soon as you can as i want to place another order
and can you also tell me if the swish worsted solid is as soft as the dk
i am going to knit my three grandsons hats for xmas but i know if they are not soft they will not wear them and i would really like to avoid the gloss as it is rather expensive when sometimes boys forget there hats and such at school never to be seen again
i was even wondering about the wool of the andes is it soft
please let me know as soon as you can
thanks
maureen
