I hadn't heard of Ravelry but will look it up. I phoned a knitting wool specialty shop the other day but the shop assistant was so disinterested and offhand. I think knitting a swatch on the needles the pattern states would be a very good idea. I don't post things on this forum very often but am pleased I did tonight. Thank you very much Bags for looking into it for me. Kiwibird
