I'm loving reading your adventures with the two circs, since using dpns has become much more difficult for me lately. I'm getting ready to take the plunge, instead of just knitting things flat and seaming them. I'm also hoping to plan a trip to Scotland in the next year or two so I'm taking notes of the yarn shops!mehitabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855340553296575495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-25433649401217939312007-01-09T20:19:00.000+00:002007-01-09T20:19:00.000+00:00You can smoke yarn?

I'm still trying to figure out what kind of wallpaper that is, but it's all good. Kind of makes Alexander look like a chameleon trying to blend in :)Swapna Padmanabhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232129991505201281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-50867775946826006862007-01-09T19:40:00.000+00:002007-01-09T19:40:00.000+00:00Jean, I spent a week in Philadelphia straightening...Jean, I spent a week in Philadelphia straightening out my mother-in-law's computer. I haven't had an email since she was left with it on her own, so I fear it might have been all in vain. My admiration for you is even greater than it was.<br /><br />Swapna is coming to visit next month, by the time she leaves we'll have replaced nicotene with yarn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-6528595064196695462007-01-09T19:05:00.000+00:002007-01-09T19:05:00.000+00:00I don't know the Scottish equivalent of a Dollar S...I don't know the Scottish equivalent of a Dollar Store such as we have over here in the US, but that's where I find oodles of the tiny rubber bands. You can pick up a package of 500 that are in a rainbow of colors over in the little girl hair section. So my knitting benefits from my granddaughter's current hairstyling. (Another child bride here, by the way.) <br />Good luck with the 2 needles for the sleeves. I absolutely end up using foul language and throwing my knitting when attempting that method.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-34397383217637437552007-01-09T19:02:00.000+00:002007-01-09T19:02:00.000+00:00That is an absolutely beautiful sweater Alexander ...That is an absolutely beautiful sweater Alexander is wearing; I like the restrained color choices.

But the Calcutta Cup is looking great!<br /><br />Yes, I am a grandmother, twice over. Liz is 14, Ian is almost 10. Mind you, I was married at 18, and Liz's mother got an early start as well. So at almost 57, I've been doing the Grammy game much longer than my peers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-29123250437906036922007-01-09T12:52:00.000+00:002007-01-09T12:52:00.000+00:00Hi Jean,

I have tried to use two circulars for knitting in the round, but have always become frustrated. I kept picking up the wrong needle which would cause me to fling the whole project across the room! I tried using two different sizes (perhaps even more frustrating). It simply never occurred to me to use different materials -- Duh!<br />Thanks for the great tip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
