I wore my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/001056.html\">Zhivago lacy cardi<\/a> for the first time ever. (It&#8217;s been too cold up until now). I was at the bakery, and the lady asked me if my cardi was hand knitted. I answered &#8220;Yes&#8221;, and she asked &#8220;Did you knit it yourself?
