Don, now you are getting disgustingly abusive. She did not want to be hung
in her own closet.

Perhaps it's "terrorism"-related. A disk drive and panoramic head I
ordered from the US each took awhile too.

Say hi to your wife for me as a knitting colleague.
As a previous novice, I finally began knitting again after an injury,
and am in the process of making a simple ribbed (knit one/purl one)
chunky knit scarf, using this yarn;
http://www.modadea.com/tweedledee.htm and for the first time in
continental: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_knitting

Apparently you can knit not just using bamboo needles, but also with
bamboo yarn:
http://www.modadea.com/bamboowool.htm
It's amazing what you can do with bamboo.

A few years ago, I vowed to myself to never buy another ready-made
retail sweater again until I could knit my own, which I'm hopefully
about to do after the scarf...
Now that I think about it, if your wife might have a ribbed raglan
crew-neck pullover sweater pattern lying around anywhere that she'd like
to share I'd be greatfully obliged.

Rich,

I had a wonderful trip to Mid Atlantic bamboo yesterday. It is indeed
wonderful what you can do with bamboo.

Starting with rectangles, eh? Maybe a toque next? I never got past
rectangles (tablecloths, curtains, napkins etc.) when I tried to teach
myself to sew a while back, but I now have considerably more respect for
people who make clothes. I still idly think abut trying experiments in
fashion for my dog, (he's such a cartoon) but the work load's a bit much,
and there's all the unfinished renovations around the house to get to
first...
