Frogged the cabled patchwork aran twice back to the 2nd pattern start. Once, because I didn't like the way the M1 stitches looked, and again, because I got the cables out of synch somewhat, not being able to find my fr*ggin' row counter!
The Crystal Palace Taos felts far too easily in an automatic machine, and produces a small, thick, shrunken mass that's more akin to a brillo pad than felt. If you plan on felting it, do it by hand. Luckily I also felted some 2ply yellow lambswool, and that has come out really well, so the Tomtom will still get its case. When I can work my way over to the sewing machine!
Next post: how a simple tubular vest on the Passap can go very, VERY wrong in my expert hands! :)
