And I'm loving it! Your sock knitting has been awesome. The fact that you are tackling such intricate and interesting patterns makes you a hero. I'm keeping it simple in sock land these days, and it's just what I need. Maybe one day, some day ...<br /><br />However the fact you'd be willing to do a pattern again? Yeah, that says a lot.<br /><br />I am knitting a shawl with that same yarn Sweet Georgia, and I had some issues when it tangled. I feel like that gigantic tangle has left me biased and I can't really think about the yarn clearly right now. elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119703911698322481.post-19208002898553320532015-02-24T10:51:24.209-05:002015-02-24T10:51:24.209-05:00I am not one to quit or give up and I was determin...I am not one to quit or give up and I was determined not to let this yarn get the best of me. I really do think they came out more beautiful than I expected. Thank you! I too am nervous about my second skein of Tough Love. Like I said in the post, if you are doing basic stitches, it shouldn't be a problem. Also, maybe I just had a bad skein???Deborah--https://www.blogger.com/profile/15804617176461709345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119703911698322481.post-75319613936633755272015-02-24T10:49:25.601-05:002015-02-24T10:49:25.601-05:00Thank you!

Yes my love for the color of this yarn is one reason why I pushed through with them. Absolutely love the final product.
