Thank you Darlene and I’m looking forward to knitting it up I’m so glad I’m not the only one out there that likes to have both written instructions and a chart. To me it’s just easier to follow.

I so agree with you in having one more “addictive hobby”! I think Ancestry.com and researching family history is going to be that way for me too!

Love that cardi and look forward to seeing it knit in your yarn – will be beautiful, I’m sure. I, also, like to have both written and chart in front of me. I knit from the written instructions, but check the chart when I have a problem.

I also do genealogy and am a member of Ancestry.com. One more addictive hobby! lt’s lots of fun and very time consuming – need more hours in the day to do all these hobbies.

Socks are always a fun project Robin! The genealogy project is fun and I’m finding out really neat things

I need to get back to knitting socks, it’s been too long since I did some! Your genealogy project sounds like fun! We have an extensive family history back to Revolution days on my dad’s side, but very little on my mom’s, would love to look into it one day.

I do too Kasey and once you’re comfortable, you can give it a try. If you’re looking to progress and want to try something new, check out Stefanie Japel’s One SKein Workshop on Craftsy. This workshop is very reasonable, you have access for as long as you’re a member and it contains great step my step instructions. You will learn the basics of top down knitting and it’s perfect for a beginner knitter

I’m glad your son is enjoying his research Ruth – it’s quite fun. I’m glad you’re planning socks … they are addictive and fun to knit

The short-sleeved cardi will be so pretty in your yarn and that color will go with everything! What a great find that was!

My preference on patterns is to have both written and charted patterns. Although it uses more space, they back one another up. When both are there you can cross reference and figure out pattern errors much quicker.
