Hi Kaci! When I made the Sophie Scarf I put a lightbulb stitch marker at my increases/decreases. That made it easy to count.

[@mccluretranslation]

I did the same thing and it made it a pretty mindless knit! I knit it just to use up a stash yarn but it’s now my favorite shawl to wear since it’s wide enough around the neck to cover my nose but the thinner ends don’t add too much bulk when tucked under my very hefty winter coat (I live in Canada).

[@zazujw]

I did the same and found it super helpful!!

[@trivialknits]

Same here! (and PS the Moonwake only ever uses 2 colors at a time and is super quick and engaging to knit up)

[@therapybycraft]

Ditto! I used one of those swirly ring markers by cocoknits and moved it up at each increase/decrease (so there wouldn't be a million hanging there).

[@suzannebright7932]

Me too!!!! It made the knit so much easier.

[@NewstromJulianna]

Thank you so much for going through the patterns for scarves, cowls and shawls for us. I definitely found several that I want to make. I love when I don’t have to search…I hate reading menus to…too many choices. 😂 I love your aesthetic, so it’s perfect if you choose my projects for me.🤩 I know what you mean about the Sophie shawl, I’m almost finished with mine and increases were driving me crazy. Then I realized I could just move a stitch marker every time I increased. So I eyeball it and don’t try to count those invisible increases. No more frustration and the shawl looks even. 😊 The simple stitch marker to the rescue. Thank you for another great podcast!❤🧶🧡

[@katenoke1571]

Hi there! It's "My yak," according to Kim & Jonna, I believe

[@catherinecunningham7126]

I think so too, Kate or My ack.

[@katenoke1571]

@@catherinecunningham7126 yes!

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Ok, now I want to make a million more scarves, cowls and shawls- darn you, Kaci. 🤟

[@lindseylimore3643]

Girl, yes! The Sophie scarf had me all messed up!😂

[@suzannemckenzie6351]

Love mobius cowls! You are making Vertices Unite look awfully tempting...

[@debbiedennie255]

Good morning Kaci Watched you bright and early this Love your taste, colours and suggestions of different patterns Thanks for joining me for morning coffee Have a blessed day Deb 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@SandPell123]

I can certainly see why you get lots of compliments on the Vertices Unite Shawl. I love it!

[@birthdaytaco]

*Immediately adds Vertices Unite to favorites* OMG I am dying over your version of that shawl! It is absolutely amazing!

[@Cadyjaxknits]

Raw Sienna is on my needles right now too! Thanks for the shrug shout out. Always a pleasure to spend time with you.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@katherynmills7397]

Here to say - make the Sophie Scarf! Find whatever way works best to keep track on the increases, I used pen & paper, but if you’ve got a row counter use that! It is so worth it, I wear this scarf more than any of my other shawls/scarves/cowls! I’m rooting for you!

[@tonemerethenordnes1218]

Hi. Love your podcast, and all this amazing ideas for scarf/shawlknits 🤩 When you talked about the sofieshawl I just want to give you a tip that have helped me a lot. To keep track of the round I take a stitchmarker at the beginning of the round, after the 1. stitch = 1. round, then move it at the next round = second round and so on. When you at back on 1. round in the repeat you start from scratch with the marker 😀

[@carlafawcett6494]

i love that boho fringe shawl. Thanks for all the ideas!! Your knits are always lovely

[@renamessenger6397]

Kaci, loved your choices. Gave me more ideas. Knit the Moondrake Cowl- I got the pattern when it first came out- got right to knitting it- OH MY, such a fun knit. I used BFL wool which I love. This knits up so very quickly- and couldn't be easier. Go for it

[@pennyrobinson5753]

Hi Kaci, love your podcast, projects and demeanor. When I knit the Sophie scarf I kept a marker on the increase side AND used a ring-style counter. Love that counter style. The rows are so short it’s a pain to reach for a counter and I agree it’s hard to remember what row you’re on without keeping track. I also saw a tip in IG where they threaded a piece of yarn vertically every time they increased. But that still means we need to be able to recognize an increase row.

[@melodychesley1923]

Hey Kaci! I completely know what you mean about keeping track of increases on the Sophie Scarf. In fact I have a funny story about it. I bought some orange yarn from Magpie Fibers when I was fortunate to visit their store in Maryland.....coming from Alaska, this a real treat. I bought the orange because GG just happened to be there that day and she bought a skein (and has since made a Sophie Scarf with it) and I thought it would be a fun way to commemorate meeting her. So I cast on! And yes, I had a hard time keeping track of increases. Finally ripped backed and used stitch markers every time I made an increase. But I put them on the icord and then counted the icord for the number of rows that it says in the pattern before the next increase. I was chugging right along happy as a clam. Then I started on the decreases and thought, wow, this is really long and it is using up way too much yarn. It is only then I realized that by counting on the icord, where every other row is slipped, I was making the spaces between the increases and decreases twice the length they should be. FROGGED. Perhaps I will try again but not for a bit!!!! Love your podcasts. I always smile when I see one pop up!

[@noelleparris9451]

It was too adorable when you started singing your version of Cher's "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" ...and you sounded great! I love your spirit. And *of course* your makes! I've got the Vertices lined up so it was great seeing yours (lovely)👍🏾 I've made the 'smaller' (ha!) Half and Half (Rosewood Pink & Stonewall Gray) and I'm nearly finished a larger one (CO 220 st) in Kiln Red & Stillwater Blue. It's a slog at the end, but worth it. I love the other Purl Soho piece (the cowl) you showed. So many projects to make... Thank you for all your content that is so very inspiring and enjoyable.

[@susancormack2618]

Thx for your podcast. I love shawls too. Dee O’Keefe makes beautifully designed shawls in all different weights of yarn. They are lace, however excellently written!

[@karenalbery2773]

Stop it! I dont even wear cowls and shawls and i have too many wips already and here i am making lists of cowls and scarves and shawls. Thanks lol. Hopefully i will just make the list and then enjoy your makes! Super lovely videos. Fun and yet polished. Casual but thoughtful

[@Cadyjaxknits]

I’m so with you on the counting of increases fir the Sophie shawl!! I lost track all the time! I’ve seen other knitters diligently keeping track in a small notebook. The struggle is real! -Caitlin

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yes!!!!

[@user-pz3wz4cr9k]

Think you like the designer Andrea. What you shown is all lovely.

[@trudydelich2920]

Absolutely wonderful episode. Thank you so much! I was marveling at all of your brainpower in putting so many potential projects together.

[@carblarson8868]

You have an eye for colors going together. Wish I could take u yarn shopping with me. Ha.

[@nancymorgan5505]

Love your Verticies Unite. I have made several of them. The smaller size is a great stash buster.

[@margaretrodee3519]

What a fabulous podcast! Thank you for sharing all of your ideas!

[@susansward6308]

I love you eye for color.

[@kathyswyka8623]

Thank you for another fun, beautiful, interesting, and inspiring episode…just thank you!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@theknittystew]

Great bundle of inspo Kaci!! I love the Newsprint cowl so much. Adding to faves immediately. P.S. I will forevermore sing Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves that way! 😂

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Haha 😂

[@lorrie6736]

Hi Kaci, thanks for all the suggestions on new shawls, cowls and scarves. I also had problems remembering where to increase on my Sofie scarf. To keep track of the rows I weave a piece of yarn back and forth after every increase. To start, count 4 garter stitch ridges (don’t miss the one directly under the needle). After a few increases have been worked you can tell at a glance that it is time to work an increase row. This tip makes the knitting totally mindless. No row counter or pencil and paper required. Also designates RS edge. I also use this for sleeve increases.

[@A_knitters_suitcase]

Very inspiring episode....too inspiring, to be honest! HELP....I want to knit them all

[@nancygillarddoran7213]

This oldfolk really likes your podcast. 😉👏🏻

[@dianadarby9108]

Shawls are my favorite to knit always such a wonderful fun podcast....thank you

[@jewelse1975]

Hey! Just found your channel-I’m a crocheter but I love seeing what people knit or crochet and I really enjoyed this video 😊 Thanks

[@moregardening5014]

Funnily enough I’ve been knitting for 20 years and I’ve only knit maybe 5 scarves, shawls have my heart! My husband will ask do you need another shawl? Immediate death stare 😂

[@anne-hustonparker7049]

Hi Kaci! Love your channel always so inspiring. I’ve knit 5 of the Sophie scarves and am now working on the Sophie shawl. I place a light bulb marker at each increase / decrease and then just count the rows. Also, the smaller size of Sophie scarf is perfect for children. I’ve knit several for my 5 year old granddaughters.

[@heathertole3839]

You convinced me to move Vertices Unite to the top of my queue - love your version! My favorite and most worn shawl is the Andrea shawl in Myak baby yak/silk - it’s not a well known pattern but it’s fun to knit and so versatile and comfortable to wear; plus I get compliments every time I wear it - what knitter doesn’t appreciate that! Thanks for another very enjoyable podcast.

[@rebeccajcrosby]

I know this video was a year ago but my FAVOURITE shawl pattern ever is the crochet Virus Shawl.

[@carliearliedale]

Your hair is so beautiful like that!!!! 😍 I’ve been in a bit of a knitting funk and this video has inspired me to pick up the needles again. Thank you!!!

[@louannhawkins4569]

Hey there Kaci, I’m from texarkana, not far from you!! Just found you and enjoyed both episodes. I think the Myak is pronounced My-yak. My husband used to be a beekeeper. Loved it, but now we live in town. People blame all bee aggravations on the local beekeeper. As if that’s the only place they can be found! Thank you for a good episode on cowls, scarves and shawls. Love the song!

[@pamelaconsalvi6797]

Love your choices, first time watching enjoyed very much.😊

[@brookwillow]

That Aneisadora shawl is sooooo cool omg!!

[@patriciashapiro361]

I think it helps to mark the increases with a removable marker. Have three on hand and insert the first into your first increase and the second into the second (of course). You can now insert the third into your third increase and always see if the distance between the markers is the same. Move the lowest one up into the next increase and so on. At some point you will know how many garter ridges are to be seen between increase rows and if becomes super easy. Go for it, girl, you can do it!

[@catherinecunningham7126]

Lovely future knits! I can’t wait to see them!!! 🐝 I have seen quite a few podcasters including The Grocery Girls and Knit With Kim and Jonna talk about your Bougie MAL. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@meaganfawcett-lunafiberwor2268]

I am with you on the Sophie Shawl! You crack me up girl and my Sophie Scarf was so misshapen. But it looks so good on my neck and you can’t tell!

[@EvieO1950]

I just happened upon your channel in the YT recommendations. I was tickled to find out you’re in Arkansas!! I’m in central AR and always happy to find and support fellow Arkansans. Beautiful work! I’m a new knitter and appreciated the patterns you shared. I’m knitting my first color work and It is a cowl. Thanks for chat and inspiration!! 🧶💕🧶

[@AHandKnitLetter]

“🎤Cowls, Scarves, and shawls” 🙌🏼

[@rebecca-72]

I’ve made More Simple Lines twice now and love it. It’s a free pattern, knits up into a large cozy shawl and has some simple eyelet rows, purl bump rows and lots of stockinette. I knit it once for my niece in a superwash and once for a friend in a very rustic wool. Both turned out beautifully. Thanks for all your suggestions, I will definitely be checking out some of them. Particularly loved the Sojourner….

[@debramuckel7255]

The Killer Queen Cowl is a fun knit. Shows off color changing yarn.

[@carrieburns808]

First time viewer here. Love the colors in your Vertices Unite! I have one on the needles from a couple years ago and I stalled out because of my colors…maybe I need to get it out and tweak it because I really love the finished shawl. Your color palettes for all your plans are beautiful as well.

[@cmyocum]

Always look forward to seeing your channel pop up in my feed. Thanks for taking the time to produce quality episodes!

[@marta_makes]

Such a great collection, thank you!

[@miroslavakimlova1818]

I had the same problem by knitting Sophie Scarf.I place a stitchmarker on the second stitch on increasing end and count every stitch as two rows. I've knitted two so far and I'm getting ready for more or for a Shawl.And Half and Half Wrap is a piece I wear most often .As a wrap or as a lap blanket at home or as my travel blanket.Love it. Greetings from Czech Republic,Mirka K.

[@denisewells6856]

Thank you Kaci! Lots of patterns and yarn choices to ponder. You did the inspiring for us!

[@kimsechrest2202]

Hi Kaci. I agree totally with you about the increases on the Sophie scarf. I had to make a check-off sheet to keep track of them. It's easy--but you are totally correct--you can't see them. Thanks for yet another great podcast. Always enjoyable!🤩

[@rebeccaclark5652]

I’ve knit a Sophie scarf and I love it! I knit that thing in a day. So versatile too! I had heard people say that keeping up with the increases was a challenge before knitting it so I knew going into it that I just needed to keep track. Once I got to the increases, I would do an increase and then keep track of rows with a row counter, do an increase and reset the row counter and repeat. That made it very easy for me to keep track. Plus I kept a stitch marker on the side where you need to do increases.

[@mindfulmelbournemaker]

Loved this episode - I have a few of those on my queue already and a couple on my needles at the moment! ha ha

[@alisondodge3809]

Love that collar pattern.. I made some 'dickies' for my dad a few years back and he wears them all the time. It's a great gift knit as well because there's not much fitting involved. Great inspo as usual, thanks!!

[@annmorris6732]

I love this type of episode….who am I kidding, ALL your episodes! I love your selections, approach, and humor. Thank you so much for deciding to start a podcast, it is so appreciated! 😊

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Wow, thank you!

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Okay I absolutely need to make the vertices unite and the current mood shawl!! And your hair looks so good btw 😍😍

[@saraposs6129]

I really need to see your yarn stash,and how It is displayed!!! Your style and vibe are kiss.😙🤌🏼*chefs kiss

[@terripuett7842]

I’ve made like four or five Sophie shawls. I found a method that works really well for me. I use a locking stitch marker on the increase /decrease side. It’s actually on the needle not in the fabric. What I do is I move the marker one stitch to the left on each right side row that I don’t increase or decrease. When I’m doing the increases I have four stitches (2 edge plus increase stitches) there on the increase row. Then when I knit back to the next right side row, I move it one. So now I have five, and again on the next row so there’s six. When I’m knitting back and I see that there’s six stitches I know that I need to increase on the next row and move my marker back so there’s only four and so on. For the decrease rows I do the same thing, but I have three stitches for the decrease and then four ,then five. When I see the five stitches on my wrong side row I know I my next row I need to decrease again and move my marker back so there’s only three. It’s great because I don’t have to count rows I just have to remember to move that marker every time I’m doing a right side row. I didn’t mess it up even one time once I started that method.

[@electricsheepknits]

Great video! I like this style of pattern spotlighting!

[@christycampbell1874]

Kaci I absolutely love your podcast! So creative and your editing is amazing 👏 😍 . Have a great week!

[@verapaelman1820]

Thank you for another lovely podcast ❤ 👌concerning the Sophie Shawl . I made 3 and in the beginning I had the same issue as you. So I used a removable stitchmarker that I removed every 3 garter ridge . Problem solved 😀. Hope this helps you too. Greetings from Belgium. Vera

[@nanastevens4094]

For keeping track of what row. You are on, Norman of Nimble Needles gave an invaluable tip (for me, at least) using a light bulb marker. On row or round one, knit first stitch and pm. Next round move marker to after st 2, if rows I move marker over 2 st on odd rows. I use this for everything now and save so much time! Much better explanation from Norman.

[@blairdestro]

The Saturday Shrug is so much fun to knit!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yea!!!

[@misschiversstitches5887]

You have such lovely choices Kaci. I also love Joji”s shawl. I would love to make her Frankie shawl one day. Thank you.

[@tammybanker5605]

I am currently doing the Bricklane Shawl from Noro with Hanui Silk. It is a beautiful shawl. The yarn is amazing and I don’t want to put it down. Love this episode.

[@OldeThymeKnits]

I just completed the Glee Shawl by Espace tricot, free pattern, joyful knit!! Vertices Unite is definitely on my "going to knit" list. And a nice cowl to knit is the Whitehorn cowl by Megan Noedecker . Fun Episode as always!😀

[@veroniquesterckendries9143]

oooh you inspired me indeed! I will make the Sojourner in my handspun yarn of John Arbon yarns. Thank you for that!

[@mandyrawlinson7687]

Great video!! Just finished my first Half & Half Triangle Wrap and I loved every moment! Will be casting on the second one ASAP !! It’s therapy on needles!’

[@theresalucas776]

You are truly funny ! Really ! You got a belly laugh out of me with that Cher song. Laughs do not come from that deep often these days . Thank you

[@ashleyspencer5928]

We have such similar tastes! I have yarn waiting for Birds of a Feather and Anesidora. Moonwake and Recollect have been on the radar, too. ❤I’m currently working on a Killer Queen Cowl and love it!

[@jufinge79]

Hi there. I'm knitting the Sophie shawl as we speak and use the app Row counter to keep up with my in- and decreases. It has the feature to set a reminder and that works a treat. Very easy, and pleasant knitting

[@tamsnell8189]

I’m hoping to knit the Pressed Flowers Shawl this year. I love your Vertices Unite shawl-added it to my “dream knitting”Xx

[@mccluretranslation]

Moonwake was my first attempt at stranded colorwork and it’s by far my most worn knitted item. Just 2 colors at a time. Highly recommended!

[@The-Vintage-Needlecrafter]

That's a nice idea. A reward cast on. I am almost finished with my Nomad Fair Isle sweater for the Bougiesweatshirtkal and I am dreaming up a spring shawl. I have lots of lace weight merino in my stash, as well as some mohair. Thanks for this video and the swell idea 💡😊🐏🐑🧶

[@susanclapier6027]

I’m a new viewer to your channel and have really been drawn in by the patterns you have featured in the beginner knits and the cowls/collars/shawls episodes. The yarns and the COLORS are scrumptious. You are far more advanced at knitting than I am but it’s so inspirational to see what you have created. Love your content.❤ Thanks for sharing!

[@michellesudale3039]

I feel your pain with the Sophie shawl I'm glad I'm not the only one. In the end I used a tally on a post it note and that did the trick.

[@sc00badive]

I'm knitting the Sophie Shawl right now, I'm using a row counter, and I start it over every time I increase. That's the only way I can possibly keep track of it, and I still sometimes get distracted by what I'm watching and forget to tap the counter. I put a progress keeper on the right side, and a stitch marker on the end where I increase. That way I have some indication of what row I'm on, and if I forget to tap the counter. The right side is the even number rows, and the side I increase on. Those are my tips. My shawl is almost done. Another tip, pay close attention to the edges, if they're messed up, the shawl will look very homemade.

[@barbarasteffee5666]

Hi Kaci....thank you for the inspiration - you covered many of my favorites. I must admit, I frogged the whole Sophie scarf due to my scatter brained increases........so, since then, I saw on one podcast where the knitter used a running stitch along the side so you know how many rows were knit in between the increases - added as increases were done and the decreases were done. I like the comment below with the light bulb marker. I was so bummed that I could NOT SEE the increases or decreases....so, here we go, ribbit, ribbit........I will make it again and next time, knit smarter. Stay warm - happy knitting.🧶

[@simovj]

Hi Kaci, I totally understand what you mean about the Sophie Shawl. When I made mine, I used a stitch marker for every increase row ( after restarting it a few times because I missed it!) so I could see they were made evenly and I could count them. The decrease part is a lot easier as you can see the little bumps of the decreases. I wear it all the time so I personally would say you should make it. ❤

[@brittp6569]

Your vertices is gorgeous!! Not gonna lie… I’ve gotta frog my Sophie because I completely forgot where I was so I’m not super helpful in the pro category 😂. I did just see a comment mentioning stitch markers so maybe that’ll be the ticket for me to finish it. Hopefully.

[@thepurlhour]

I just purchased my first skein of Spincycle yesterday and picked Wololo! So excited to turn mine into another Harlow Hat ❤

[@laurellae]

Use a removeable stitch marker! I've made 2 sophie scarves and 1 shopie shawl, and using the stitch marker made it so much easier. I also knit all 3 in the same month. The sophie shawl is currently my favorite knit and I am wearing it all the time! I want a second one now.

[@wandagallant98]

Merci pour cet épisode 🇨🇦😊

[@kathleencapson5838]

Love your videos!!! ❤ the half and half wrap is so tempting but I know I’ll end up with half a triangle and then have it languish for months

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Me too!

[@catherinedean4783]

On my second Sophie scarf promising that I would knit more slowly to avoid the frogging I did on the first one. For a simple knit it requires more paying attention than I would have thought. Still it's an awfully cute knit and for a small project becomes a wardrobe staple unlike a hat which has limited use. Great for gift knitting. Nice podcast today. Always enjoy your podcasts.

[@sallythibodeaux7992]

I made the small Sophie scarf using Knit Companion. It’s great for tracking rows, you can even mark through them to keep track. Love all the shawls you showed and I do want to make the larger Sophie Shawl. Happy Knitting 🧶

[@helenedumoulin9092]

What is that Knit Companion ? An App? Where do you get that ? Thanks

[@melissaclay8335]

I had to laugh when you said you couldn’t stay focused while knitting the Sophie Scarf! I had to rip mine back because it was lopsided where the inc were wrong. 🤦‍♀️ At least you have kids at home. I don’t have that excuse anymore. 😆

[@goswamigeeta]

Good choice and lots of inspiration! Sophie scarf is on my needles and shawl is in que. Thank you.

[@karenkeene8040]

I used a clicker to keep track of my rows while working on my Sophie shawl. That being said you need to remember to click the clicker! It’s worth the effort though. It’s the perfect size shawl for me to wear with a winter coat…not too bulky or oversized. I’m definitely making another one!

[@videotutu01]

I have made 2 different "Drachenfels" shawls. Love them and will probably make another one this year. Just bought yarn yesterday for the "Field Shawl", so that's my next cast on.

[@markiecooks7635]

I had the same issue with the Sophie Scarf. I placed a stitch marker on the increase rows. This helped me stay on track.

[@joycewhite6023]

I completely agree with your comments on the Sophie scarf. I was holding together a fingering and mohair and went crazy keeping up with the increases especially with the tv going! I had to rip it out and haven't started again, waiting for the mood to strike!!

[@joannemoseley8994]

I highly recommend the Moonwake cowl. I just finished that one and it was a wonderful easy knit. No 3-color rows! And no long floats. You carry your yarn on the back of the work and it is hidden inside.

[@sonjagerstl6593]

Did the "Vertices Unite" last year, still loving it!!! And: I made a lot of Sophie Scarves last December (christmas gifts). I used an abacus helping me to count the rows. 🙈 So I am not sure, if I will knit a Sophie Scarf or Shawl again for the next 10 months. I also want to knit the "Saturday Shrug", but I am still not sure about the yarn. So I will start knitting the "Anesidora Shawl" before, using leftovers and some dark grey wool from my stash. Also on my list for 2023: "Moon Sisters" by Caitlin Hunter. As always I really enjoyed your podcast! Great job! 💯

[@cindyg.8425]

Oh my word. The Sophie scarf ….. glad you mentioned this. I thought I had lost my mind. I am in my60’s… knitting since 10 years old. 4-H girl here learning all at home crafts-from leaders as well my Grandmas. ( but my favorite 4-H projects were my Beef Cattle, Polled Herefords). I managed to flub up this thing and ripped it all the way back at half point as I am completely picky. Set out to figure out what I managed mistake wise. Ugh… disappointed disruptions. Think. So now am using a clicking row counter…. And with every 6 row ( next row WS), I know on row 8 I increase. Think this has helped me… mantra. Hope this helps. I like I really do like the scarf but this pattern is not for my brain. ( still on clue 3 on Stephen west MKAL 10/2022. I am a stubborn gal and I will finish…. But I just did finish Snowy Forest and 2 hats for my husband in the midst of the shawl…. Have to release myself for other cast on’s of pure pleasure. Thank you for today. Another pure pleasure!❤

[@megk2527]

Hi Kaci! I’m a new subscriber so I’ve been watching all your past podcast episodes ☺️. I think you may like the designer Isabell Kraemer. She has many beautiful shawls. The Akemi design is one of my favorites that I can’t wait to knit 🥰.

[@jessicaolney4900]

I love it--I have several of the patterns your list already in my queue and re-queued from last year (still waiting, poor things)! Where to begin, right? So many wonderful options. I recently added Vertices Unite to my list after thinking "no" but then seeing a few knitters on their podcasts showing theirs and I saw how wonderful it could be and that they enjoyed knitting it, so I knew I had to do it and your version confirms it is a great choice. The only hangup: I stress over that many color choices, so we will see when I can make it happen! Thanks for the episode!
