Wow! I once had a date with a guy who called me (wrong number). He lived really close by. Didn’t work out but it was a fun story.

I thought of that.

Its beautiful!
I just did a toque with a corrugated band that curled. I ironed it out (it was in acrylic for a friend who can’t wear wool).

So cute! “Memory Lane” would be a great #showmeyourknits 🧶
I kept the sweater I knit for my son when he was wee. It was red so you reminded me of it. I kept it for the grandchildren I’ll never get 😢 (I understand why and I never bug them).

I haven’t but that’s the way I would do it.

Hummer mitts were the 1st. The pattern had the instructions. They were so nice & soft & warm. I just line all of them now. All you do is pick up the no. of stitches just above the cuff & plain knit the lining with slightly lighter yarn. The tricky part is getting the same length. Patterns in alt.

I knit a lining for all my mitts. It really makes a difference, more that just heavier yarn.

I did a toque for someone with no hair (alopecia). She was worried about it being too big. Fortunately, the pattern said that the fingering weight knit up small & suggested bigger needles. I used the size given & it was a bit small but perfect for my friend. I’ll look at this to knit for her again.

Who’s afraid of Virginia Wolff? Not me! Especially now that I know she was part of the coven, as my husband calls knitters. He says knitting is witchcraft 😂
Love the scarf! Beautiful work and one of my favourite colours.

I’m sure I can. Thanks.

I’m going to watch a video I saw about why it wasn’t like (maybe the same one). I can’t watch it, at least I don’t think so, in Canada but it’ll probably show up eventually.

And warm socks and mitts and … Lots of warm stuff!

I had one like that. So annoying since it was sock yarn. All the other colours changed in a reasonable way but one just went on and on. I don’t mind the socks not colour changing identically but sheesh! They didn’t look like they really went together at all.

My guy just encourages me by squeezing himself in beside me while I knit… I would like him to encourage me from slightly further away but I take what I can get 😊

I laughed at this. I am sitting knitting 🧶 with a heating pad against my back and just thought I need to vacuum today! But that will be after we gather some more fall on our dog walk.

The swivel cables I got on my Chiaogoo Forté set were terrible. Snag, snag, snag! So I hope the aren’t like Chiagoo swivels, at least not the ones I have (replaced w/ red—Forté were a rip off).
Have you tried them? I can’t use the ones I have but I’m interested in whether they make a difference.

😂 Too funny! I love the circular needles. Haven’t used straights much in the last 10 years or so. I’m doing a queen size blanket now. I can’t imagine trying it on straights.

That’s wild! I will never again pay a lot for needles. When I retired I bought myself the Forté set. The swivels did nothing but snag, a tip broke & was 1st replaced with a bent set… They replaced the swivels with red ones. The extras were cheep. Basically I got a lot of nothing special for $470.
