The yarn does have a sheen to it and is silky smooth. The photo really doesn't do it justice. |

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. My mother-in-law passed away recently. You are right about the number of stitches and yet I knit a blanket after writing up this pattern and had no problem with it. I will be looking into this. Thank you. |

I started knitting the blamket again and can find nothing wrong with rows 9 or 13. |
Very, very nice. It looks....darn I hate it when I can't come up with the words I want to use...does "smooth" work as the word? I don't know if you can understand what I'm trying to say...maybe I should have just stuck with "very, very nice."
