Re: Question

Hi, Tia, I haven't changed email addresses and I just had some assignments submitted recently, so it should be working. I'd double check that you've typed the email address correctly; you could even copy and paste it from the assignment page. If you had it all correct from the get-go, try using the ...

Re: Knit-class-together

Ooh, that's a nice yellow! I like it! Are your circular needles the same needle size? Or does a pair have a really long (40" or longer) length? Because if either one of those is the case, there are techniques you can use to knit a smaller circumference on a larger needle -- knitting with two circs (...

Re: Knit-class-together

Lucy, you have sent me on a search! I wanted to see if I could find a picture of a Columbus-era movie Hufflepuff scarf, and you know what? It's really hard to find! But I found one! Here it is: three of the four house scarves in one shot! . And judging by that picture, anyway, Hufflepuff yellow is b...

You know, intarsia's not something I'm great at. It seems very fiddly in my hands, and it feels like all my fingers turn into thumbs or something. I can only think of two projects I've made that used intarsia, so I'm not, like, a fantastic fountain of knowledge about it. I think what your trouble bo...

Yeah, the loop cast on is not my favorite, either; controlling the tension is so incredibly hard . However, it's also got its uses; for instance, it's my favorite cast on for 1x1 rib, particularly if I want it to be stretchy and practically invisible. I've used it for my Wilf hat, and it's kind of p...

One of the best things about knitting is talking about knitting. There's so much to talk about! New projects, works in progress, finished objects -- there are so many steps along the way, occasional mishaps, and puzzling patterns. So come chat about whatever knitting you're working on! A note about ...

QUOTE (Katie Sanders @ Mar 30 2013, 11:50 AM) Basically, I don't remember how I maybe dropped a stitch or something, but the knitting managed to like....reverse? So there's a portion where I am at where some parts clearly have three rows and others four. No biggie, right? Alas, it's a little biggie...

I'm apparently in a chatty mood at the moment, so I thought I'd share my latest knitting thing. I haven't taken pictures yet, but I finally finished my knitted TARDIS. I've had the pattern for more than two-and-a-half years now, but I was trying to find a good TARDIS blue sock yarn. Why sock yarn? W...
