I was going to knit 2 purl 2 which is how the throw on pintrest was knitted, but in the end I decided to just use the garter stitch, since my needles were so large and I also was working with two balls of yarn to bring in a color that was slightly different. Since I'm a new knitter I was trying to keep the project simple, and I have only just learned to purl.hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305183445125660592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182127943217217846.post-89079357286418163042012-03-29T20:34:37.823-05:002012-03-29T20:34:37.823-05:00Did you knit that in the pattern in the pinterest ...Did you knit that in the pattern in the pinterest link (from your last post) or did you knit it different?<br /><br />I love the chair.

I'm gonna stop by every once in a while and see if they have a real tri-color exotic in stock (rather than the brindles that they frequently mis-label as exotics) and have them set it aside if I can find one. Would it be OK to message you at that point to put an order in and then I'll go pick it up?nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182127943217217846.post-72274332071571039472012-03-28T09:54:05.878-05:002012-03-28T09:54:05.878-05:00Hey Nick, they have black/white and brown/white hi...Hey Nick, they have black/white and brown/white high quality cowhide rugs at RothChilds antique shop in the central west end. Of course they aren't dirt cheap, I think around $200, but they are really nice and local.

I'm glad I called about it, she made it seem pretty rough, but said just come out and take a look, so glad I did!I cleaned and conditioned the leather as soon as I got home, and that helped a lot also. I saw you interested in purchasing a cowhide, I check about my Elite membership, and see if there is a way you can use it. I was told also ordering from the Kansas City store and having it delivered is easy, and that way I wouldn't have to even deal with the lady here, or I was told I could call ahead to make sure she isn't working, which I thought was funny!hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305183445125660592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182127943217217846.post-25551956954002931192012-03-28T08:42:00.296-05:002012-03-28T08:42:00.296-05:00Great find!

I was surprised it lasted so long on the List. The cord I buy at Kalb Electric on Bigbend @ Manchester. He carries a few different colors nothing too exciting, but the basics are there, and its $1.50 a foot. You can also buy there a great plug that just snaps on the end of your cord to plug into the wall. He carries a gold cloth cord that I think I'm going to try fabric paint on to get some bright colors, but I have to say the cloth cords are the way to go, so much better than seeing a plastic cord laying across the floor.hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305183445125660592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182127943217217846.post-14248000815065236272012-03-27T21:41:29.445-05:002012-03-27T21:41:29.445-05:00oh, btw, where do you get your black cloth covered...oh, btw, where do you get your black cloth covered cord?
