The Addi Turbos are quite blunt even in the smaller sizes. <br /><br />I can be the queen of too many WIPs, but I second the idea of having at least one mindless project on the needles. It's like a bit of sorbet - helps to cleanse the knitting palate, so to speak.stash haushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244605573080920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-27077452863207238092009-08-30T15:23:23.810+01:002009-08-30T15:23:23.810+01:00Hi Jean,
Sue and I really weren't thinking of...Hi Jean,<br /><br />Sue and I really weren't thinking of thistles attacked by .....whatever that is...when we bought the yarns. We were thinking more of what you can't get easily in Edinburgh, like alpaca.<br /><br />My suggestion would be to do a swatch with the alpaca, and then rename the stole. If you don't think of it as representing thistles, would the yarn look nice? Maybe the Old Lyme stole or the Florence Griswold stole would make it seem more appropriate.<br /><br />As Fleegle wrote me last week (I'm also going through a fallow period)...."hope you get gruntled soon".<br /><br />You've got to think about that for a moment to realize what a clever comment she made.<br /><br />Knit something that makes you happy.<br /><br />Best from here,<br /><br />CynthiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-7573829926856720742009-08-30T13:31:24.271+01:002009-08-30T13:31:24.271+01:00I'm with spinningfishwife.

Lazy knitter that I am, I often have more simple things on the go than complex. Addi Turbos are nice and rather blunt even in the smaller sizes.<br /><br />Much as I hate to rip out, I'm usually happier after I accept the necessity and do it.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-34138888902629328942009-08-30T13:20:46.284+01:002009-08-30T13:20:46.284+01:00I am in the same situation as you.

If you are not happy with the stole now, you will not be happy with it in a week. Good luck on the ASJ - I made one for an eight year old with left over sock yarn and it is beautiful. <br />Ron in MexicoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-88974487594583839122009-08-30T10:27:44.350+01:002009-08-30T10:27:44.350+01:00I'm a multiple WIP person as you know, and I t...I'm a multiple WIP person as you know, and I think it's important to have at least one project going which you can just sit down at and rattle off a few rows when you feel the urge. Mindless knitting, for Zen moments, you know? I'd hate to have three things on the go where I had to concentrate on every stitch and worry about fudging it.<br /><br />So..yes, blunter needles or change the yarn. Or both. Or how about a nice pair of socks until your knitting mojo settles down again?Spinningfishwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709744732495957360noreply@blogger.com
