Wow! Thank you Caitlin and Pattye. I just remembered my web site address was on as my signature and was half expecting criticism lol.
I'm learning. I read whatever I can find, but handling many different fwp has probably taught me almost as much. I mostly buy from the same man (on ebay, ducking!) as I understand his grading system, but I still sometimes get an A hank that's very good, or an AA hank that's rubbish. On the other hand some he classes as AA are fantastic. When he has what he calls AAA I BUY!! I love buying multiple strands (hanks). When I started I didn't even SEE the A's lol.
My 14 year old son made my web site, and he did a lovely job. Did you see the 'enlarge text' for those of us over 50?
I would love to use solid gold, but so far its price per inch defeats me, but one day maybe I can )
Cathy
