The sight of my stash has scared me into not wanting to buy more yarn, and I haven't bought as much as I'm used to buying in a long time.Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416504089177980525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21043507.post-1165577006877525002006-12-08T11:23:00.000+00:002006-12-08T11:23:00.000+00:00I was wondering about the slant on straights.

I might try it on legwarmers soon, though I'd do those in the round anyway.<BR/><BR/>I dont' know why I let myseft get intimidated with mechanical stuff like sewing machines, I'm starting with some small xmas decorations to get the hang of it.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12498653879153240121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21043507.post-1165572323978194672006-12-08T10:05:00.000+00:002006-12-08T10:05:00.000+00:00Amazing stash - good for you. And sewing machines ...Amazing stash - good for you. And sewing machines are easy, honest. I've taught 12 yr olds to use them, and you've got a user-friendly one there.<BR/><BR/>We only had one deadline at Goldsmiths too. They're famed for sticking you in the studios for 3 years and leaving you on your own. It was tough, and many folk crashed and left. I loved that freedom though.<BR/><BR/>A note about the yf, k2tog pattern from Whirly Rib.... it gets that wonderful slant from being knitted in the round, and on straights it would create a mesh like fabric... will have to figure a way to make it work the same on straights...Woolly Wormheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215582036567709490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21043507.post-1165451994550299832006-12-07T00:39:00.000+00:002006-12-07T00:39:00.000+00:00Wow, I can't believe that's your whole stash!

Just what I'd love right now, as I trundle through prep for my preliminary exams to qualify for moving on to my PhD. I have to meet with my professors constantly, and most of the meetings are less than useful - mostly just a waste of time. US grad schools consist of one *hoop* after another.<BR/><BR/>And your stash -- all so neat and orderly and tiny! I completely respect your logic - excess tends to be nothing more than a weight and pressure to knit stuff you may not even want. You've got a good theory going.knittingphilistinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516967214935787308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21043507.post-1165354598315998592006-12-05T21:36:00.000+00:002006-12-05T21:36:00.000+00:00oh I get feedback!
