Re: Discussion Topic: Happy Accidents

Noreen once when i did not have enough yarn I first tried this group ( this
was how I found you in the first place ! ) but no one was able to help as I
being in Australia seemed to have totally different types of yarn to the
group in general.
  so I
bought some of the different dye lot and as the jumper had a wide band of a
cable pattern in the centre on the back and front  I did the cable part in
the new tone and it worked very well   god  Bless Gwen
