It is in my queue, too, and I may have to go cast on just to keep up with you. But there is that one more hat to knit...<br /><br />And I agree with Erica - the spinning really made me happy. I finally have a stash of plastic bobbins so am going to start work on my love - woolen sweater yarn - but I will enjoy watching your socks come into being.<br /><br />Finally, what a rich (and civil) conversation we are all having.

There's nothing wrong with dreaming, especially when it involves civility and more people knitting. Perhaps someday...<br /><br />Your new yarns are beautiful; they're going to make a great shawl. But the spinning is really what has me drooling. I love the colors in that fiber! Those will be some nice socks, for sure.EGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941668303286640744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-65508854544139712982011-02-16T11:49:47.910-08:002011-02-16T11:49:47.910-08:00That green yarn is amazing!

Personally, I think if we taught all of the politicians in Washington to knit and spin it would be far preferable to the "spinning" they do on their own. LOL! <br /><br />I've been thinking of knitting Daybreak. Have some Rowan Felted Tweed in a few colors that might be asking to become that shawl.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338983050389000985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-24525270661504733912011-02-15T12:07:09.638-08:002011-02-15T12:07:09.638-08:00Fretting is essential to the success of many thing...Fretting is essential to the success of many things.

And I can completely ...I too worry about sizing! <br /><br />And I can completely understand why you chose to use the yarn for something you would wear. Stranded colorwork in medium weight yarn would make socks too heavy for *me* to wear, and I've got 30 inches of snow in my yard! I'd have to be spending a lot of time outdoors to need socks that thick. Even though we keep the house cool and my office is often quite chilly, I rarely need more than a single thickness of fingering weight wool sock to be comfortable.RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-28709167855469357132011-02-14T22:22:58.513-08:002011-02-14T22:22:58.513-08:00Oh no, you're not the only one who spends inor...Oh no, you're not the only one who spends inordinate amounts of time fretting over gauge and size. I have a long history of messing up sizing and therefore I fret until I either finish the garment and it looks good or I frog it and start over. Usually it's more of the latter, hence the fretting.<br /><br />You always choose the most wonderful colors--rich and vibrant!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-65050042830169411852011-02-14T18:56:52.122-08:002011-02-14T18:56:52.122-08:00i LOVE the kodo drummers!! i'll bet you had a ...i LOVE the kodo drummers!! i'll bet you had a wonderful evening, i know the body feeling of that. and i think we really need to be thinking much bigger than our representatives (though of course that's a good starting point): people in the media need to become fiber artists. that'll be our second wave. then let's move outward to everyone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
