Knot Lying

Good grief. I did it...I sat and knitted for pleasure (it was pleasure only after I was done with that 4 needle ribbing nonsense...ugh) through one and a half TV shows until my chin hit my chest and I almost put my eye out with a piece of sharp bamboo. No, of course I am not following a pattern...just guestimates on sizing from some chart. I will be closed into a small room with no distractions when I go through the heel thing. (I actually DID knit a pair of socks for my daughter AGES ago but they were made from handspun and the needles were not toothpicks.) This is merely proof that I am doing it...making a sock. Happy now? NO LACE SHAWLS. I do not want to turn the earth sideways...

The one thing I've found the Norwegian Purl method useful for is to purl that first stitch on DPNs. Otherwise, I tend to think it's more work than just moving the yarn in front, but . . . starting a DPN with a purl . . . that's well worth using that Norwegian Purl method! http://www.interweave.com/knit/interweave_knits/pdf_files/Norwegian_Purl.pdf

Cool! You will love them! There's nothing like wearing your handknit socks. How many stitches do you have and what size toothpicks???

Shawls will come my pretty, shawls will come.

Caroline...back off. I have a vase full of pointy things and I know how to use them. I put 74 stitches on my size 2's I knit pretty tight but then this is an experiment...better larger than smaller. I have big clodhoppers...size 10's. Big boned gal...
