The blue incarnation (enwoolation?) is quite attractive, but the other two photies give me the impression of moribund, if not technically dead as such, sheep. ---

Erm, right. Must admit, I think you could say the same of any flat piece of knitting in an undyed wool. Agree the blue version looks better, if only because it’s much better knitted. I just think it looks fun to knit - easy, but not boring thanks to the changing pattern. ---

Maybe the blue one has been blocked and the others haven’t? That makes a lot of difference with a pattern like that. ---

> [@ThatFunnyMummy](#): > > you could say the same of any flat piece of knitting in an undyed wool Indeed one could. And it probably is fun to knit. The pattern vendor doesn’t half maunder on, though, and I was less kindly disposed to the artefact as a result. Nothing to stop you having two projects on the go, is there? ;- ) ---

> [@Gus](#): > > The pattern vendor doesn’t half maunder on Oh I hadn’t bothered to read that! But now I’ve looked at it, I’m confused by: _This pattern is available for **$3.00 USD** [buy it now](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-ulster-blanket#)_ _A free version is also available._ Why would you pay $3 if you can have it free? And how do you obtain the free version. I’m buggered if I can work it out. ---

Were I a nice person, I am sure the cockles of me 'eart would be warmed. As things stand, though… Hang on, maybe they can drape it over bluddy Peep’s cage. Or stifle her and her spawn with it. ---

Doesn’t the pattern have a list of “abbreviations used” somewhere on it? They mostly used to. ---

What does your pattern key say KS2 & SM mean? There is variance in abbreviations which is Not Generally Helpful. ---

Can you perhaps ring B and ask her? KS2 is not easy to search, for fairly obvious reasons. ---
