I met one of your yoga compatriots at the Y - her name is Jo. Thank you for these last two posts. I read them this morning and cried. I guess I needed the reminder to "enjoy the process", both in knitting and in life. I'm so grateful for knitting and for you and Wild Purls. Congratulations on finishing the 30 day yoga challenge!

]]> Comment on What a wonderful weekend with Marie Mayhew by Cami Jacobsen(Margit Thorndal's sister http://wildpurls.com/blog/2009/10/28/what-a-wonderful-weekend-with-marie-mayhew/#comment-51 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:41:14 +0000 http://wildpurls.com/blog/2009/10/28/what-a-wonderful-weekend-with-marie-mayhew/#comment-51 Hello Julie, Marie or whomever else is answering these questions, Margit gave my daughter, Britt, the Gnome and Mushroom pattern for Christmas. Britt is trying to make up the mushroom. We have a question on the instructions for Round 3: If you increase 1, k1 for the whole round wouldn't you get 24 stitches not 18? Then again on Round 3 wouldn't you have 32 stitches if you increased based on the number from Round 3? I'm probably just missing something really obvious. Thanks for helping us out.

I have this backwards -- it should read: "Divide the number of stitches by the whole length of the fabric." Sorry for the confusion. I will try to update it soon at WP.
