MARK,
VERY NICE PATTERN! I LOVE THE USE OF THE PEARSALLS GOSSAMER AS BOTH BODY AND RIBBING. THE RED OF THE SILK AND THE DARK GREEN OF THE PEACOCK HAS CHRISTMAS IMPLICATIONS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Maybe with that twisted silk rib, butted to a gold or silver rib.....and then........and :lol: i just finished putting up Christmas lights yesterday.....so don't mind me.....i just got the spirit Bro. :D
