Cashmere - that is awesome! Hats are so much fun to knit - but THAT is going to be a blast. I say do!
I hated knitting until a brilliant person showed me continental stitch. now I can knit at community meetings. Which keeps me from yelling, mostly.
eta: no apostrophe needed.
I could use some luck~ma, communication~ma, and skill~ma. I'm about to call an agency that I think could provide some help to the family I've been helping. I really need them to be able to do this, so all the ~ma would be greatly appreciated.
Not Sox, but I really like the Sally Melville knitting books for beginners, [link]
, because I think she makes it easy to understand what the #@!$$ she's talking about.
I have no, zero, memories of being taught how to knit. My mother knits all the time - she never sits down that she doesn't pick up a project - so I just sort of absorbed things. I went back to the beginning books to put some context on what I knew and to give things a name.
We were checking the couch cushions. Can I buy you a condo with $0.32?
It *is* Michigan. So probably.
Totally unrelated, this is one of the other quilts from my shop: [link]
The Very Buffista Quilt Pink! quilt goes for sale later today. Don't bid on the above on! Save the money for mine! :)
I know it isn't yours, but that is a very pretty quilt vw. I wish I had extra fundage hanging around. (Though Aimee would probably tackle me for it to add to Sparky's $0.32.) Not that I'd mind being tackled by Aimee, but now we are off the point.
Yeah, it's gorgeous. And it's very artsy--some of the blocks were done by artists who had never quilted before. I saw it in person, and it's just lovely.
Probably.
Gropes Aimee, mid-tackle.
