Lovely! <BR/><BR/>I'd gripe about the lack of specifics, but it's how I cook. Bit of this, handful of that. Heaven forbid I have to write it down! Yikes!<BR/><BR/>I got the same tombstone. Should we go to Sonic for lunch, or wait until we're on our last leg, healthwise?? ;)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500816920855712513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-70489221988187345642008-01-30T19:59:00.000-08:002008-01-30T19:59:00.000-08:00Cookie, maybe I should ask Silver to do a thumb tu...Cookie, maybe I should ask Silver to do a thumb tutorial..if it hadn't been for her, I don't think I would have ever understood socks. And I still keep a printout of her tutorial in my sock bag just in case *G*<BR/><BR/>Thanks Cat! And now I'll have to sneak it's mate in around hats since it's almost February! I ordered a couple of 16"circs from Knitpicks and I hope they get here soon.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295619596931784900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-78119664375896086732008-01-30T18:27:00.000-08:002008-01-30T18:27:00.000-08:00Susan that mitten is lovely!!!

It was more like if someone told you of a tip on how to do something you already knew. I just grabbed it for myself. I agree though. I went to a knitting class that was like that. I didn't go back. And, I'd asked in advance if it was suitable for a beginner. <BR/><BR/>Devorah, I'm sure hoping so. I never thought sock knitting would be a comfy thing..so I'm hoping that mitten knitting will eventually be that for me too. Then I can experiment with colorwork...which is the real goal. In the meantime, there may be a lot of wonky mittens to palm off (heh) on unsuspecting people.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295619596931784900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-81295649190613505882008-01-30T03:39:00.000-08:002008-01-30T03:39:00.000-08:00Ah, but once you get the hang of it, mitten knitti...Ah, but once you get the hang of it, mitten knitting is a skill you have for life!<BR/><BR/>Good luck on the gusset!Devorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332478939528831087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-17847090098251349412008-01-29T18:12:00.000-08:002008-01-29T18:12:00.000-08:00how I hate that. c'mon people!! if you are doing...how I hate that. c'mon people!! if you are doing a class or setting down a pattern or recipe... please give plenty of direction, pictures, and information. <BR/> It is like they totally forget they were ever a rookie!BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.com
