Not all of us have time to knit a pattern THIS VERY INSTANT, even if we want to use the recommended yarn. And companies discontinue yarns pretty much at whim...so a year on, you might not be able to find that yarn again. I know there's Yarndex and things like that, but it would be nice on the pattern to say "Use a firm worsted-weight wool or wool equivalent that will give good stitch definition" or "this pattern needs a dk yarn with good draping...rayon, tencel, or silk will work."fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835299.post-5856885802478301412010-04-02T17:07:30.806-07:002010-04-02T17:07:30.806-07:00Rant on, that is a sign of an extremely thoughtles...Rant on, that is a sign of an extremely thoughtless designer.<br /><br />I hope it wasn't a Pacific Northwest designer.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
