Thanks, Elaine, for more lovely outfits. You are very good to us designing so much and giving us the patterns. You are very generous. One small question please. Are the dresses knitted in English 3,4,ply or double knitting. The Americans seem to go by the brand names of the wool whereas we go by the ply or am I hopelessly out of date? Thanks again.
