So this was a surprise start as I had planned to do the Cabled Gloves first. Drea (the daughter) saw the book and wanted to knit the Spiral Tweed Cloche. She has knit hats, armwarmers, and even 3 sweaters; nonetheless she asked me to get her started in the round. When I had cast on with circulars and was showing her the diagonal ribbing she declared that it wouldn’t work for her because she couldn’t watch tv and knit at the same time because it wasn’t the same pattern for each row. “Here you are going to have to finish it Mom.”
She did provide the innovation for this project though. Instead of using the big button she purchased a lovely shawl pin by Pollika for adornment.
