Mohair Royal is 25 g / 235 yards, and Misti Alpaca is 50 g / 437 yards. If you look at the pictures (p. 176 of VLT), the #2 is definitely thinner than the #1 yarn (discounting fuzz, which you probably can't). <br /><br />What's even more confusing is why a Hand-Dyed 20/2 silk is a #1, and 20/2 Hand-Dyed Silk is a #2. <br /><br />Our rescue greyhound Katie says 'hi' to Pippi.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836309988298364312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22460086.post-51417872301117729732006-12-29T08:04:00.000-08:002006-12-29T08:04:00.000-08:00Pippi must have a matching sweater!

I found a place that sells them here in NYC (Pearl River Mart, in case anyone's interested), but I haven't gotten any yet because if I do I'm also going to have to get a belt, and I'm not sure I won't decide the whole thing isn't worth it after I've tried it. In short, I'm always toying with the idea, and you're the first person I've "known" who's actually tried it. <br /><br />The lace looks great, too - I've been really liking what I've seen on the blogs from that book...and just when I thought Meg Swanson's Gathering of Lace would keep me busy for years....Kate A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04862446913952308018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22460086.post-17854857008908164442006-12-23T06:18:00.000-08:002006-12-23T06:18:00.000-08:00hege, both projects took my breath away, those peo...hege, both projects took my breath away, those peonies! and the rich red lace....sssiiiigggghhhhh.....<br />beautiful knitting!

It's funny, I'm so used to knitting with these long double pointed needles all my life long that I can't seem to get used to circulars, even though I'm well aware that they're so much more comfortable to knit with. Hmmmh... <br />I'm looking forward to seeing more of this sweater - and the scarf too, of course!<br />Have a very Merry Christmas, and all the very best to you and your family.
