Hi Gents

Feel like it has been ages since I have been active on MWK. I had a complete disaster with the Boyf jumper. To cut a long story short. I ended up going at it with a pair of scissors and then had to massively frog. Ended up just staring at the mess for about 5 weeks sigh... (I am one of those people who cannot face starting something till the current project is finsihed!)

Well - a quiet, sunny (and very cold) sydney winter's day was enough to make me face my foe!

Done - and all back on track :) Started a sleeve last night!

Hopefully he will get it before this winter is done.

The term confuses me as well

The term confuses me as well - I think it's one of those "jargon" phrases that every craft (and job) seem to have...but I haven't figured out what this one means.

I'm sorry for your pain.

I'm sorry for your pain. That sounds so gruesome. I'm glad to hear you've moved to sunnier pastures.

Finishing one thing before

Finishing one thing before starting another - I've heard whispers of such things, but assumed that they were legends. Congrats on seeing it through, Paul - there'll be many happy days ahead!
