Unless your realtor let you know about it, you wouldn't necesarily have been aware of an offer falling apart - but it happens all the time. Deals fall apart on inspection, on financing, sometimes people just change their minds. Sometimes, depending on location and market conditions, a house sells for more than it will appraise at - then an adjustment needs to be made - either the seller comes down in price or the buyer comes up with the difference in cash. (I ran the closing dept in a real estate office for several years).<BR/>so did you see that I put up two pics early today on what somewhat cowl looks like worn by real people who've knit them - without being on someone who's stick thin and a camera angle that is over the shoulder? Two people got upset that I was using other peoples pics, so I took the entry down - but I'll tell you, I think it is an unflattering knit. I was complementary - saying both looked to be knit beautifully - but whatever. I thought since there are 200 people in this 'club' it sure would be nice if most of them had a real idea what the neckline is going to look like.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you have a lot on that knitting plate girl. My colchique is due to be fini soon...
