The teacher took a simple concept and managed to tie our brains in knots with it. Using two colours really complicates things...I keep meaning to go back and try it again but now feel thoroughly intimidated by the technique.

Do a dishcloth every night, I think that was the admonition.<br /><br />I knit for my pleasure, not to feed my family.

I think you made Wingspan recently? It has a similar "interesting when blocking but difficult to wear in reality" feeling to it. But then you have many grandchildren...Shandyhttp://www.cheviots.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-6155647154181103782013-06-09T08:55:44.563+01:002013-06-09T08:55:44.563+01:00I was given a skein of that wonderful Tube yarn fo...I was given a skein of that wonderful Tube yarn for Valentine's Day (my request - longer-lasting than flowers and not fattening, unlike chocolate!). It made a wonderful pair of socks and I could remember my hours rattling around the Underground as I knitted it. And be very thankful to live in the deepest countryside again after my London years!<br /><br />MrsAlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
