Knitters/Crocheters

I know that there are a few of you.
I have a lot of time on my hands, so I'm attempting some new things. I'm actually using patterns now, where before I just knitted whatever came about. Big Grin

I'm beginning to realize that I only have small needles and I'm becoming a yarn snob.

I knitted a hat for my nephew, one for myself (no patterns), a baby-carrier (no pattern), and now I'm going to start working on some fingerless gloves.

Anyone else? Any deals on good yarn, needles, etc.?

I'm halfway through hat #2. I was going to finish it the other night but we started watching Heroes and I sat there with the stuff in my lap the whole time. laugh out loud It's such an easy pattern - once you get the first 4 rows done it's lightning fast.
Wait...which hat are you knitting?

Iagree

Secret Look at the Geek Tattoo thread... you'll see something only a knitter could love in there. Teehee

Blush I'm a loose knitter for socks, but a tight knitter for other things. When I'm doing straight knitting, I knit continental style....that seems to make tighter stitches. Working on some socks now. I LOVE this yarn. It's called ICE CREAM SUNDAE! It's chocolate and strawberries melting into vanilla ice cream!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Grin

High Five Bookmarked! I have my MIL's knitting needles already - my FIL gave them to me when he was cleaning out her stuff. (She died in '95 before I met my husband) I hope they're labeled... They're circa 1970 needles. laugh out loud

You can always head over to hobby lobby and pick up a card that measures the needles. Smilie

No prob! Big Grin

Hey, anyone here experienced with log cabin knitting? I'm working on a blanket and I'm confused at whether I should completely bind off on the row or not. It says I'm supposed to leave on stitch there but if I do that gives me one extra stitch on the next row. Confused

Hmmm....seems I've seen folks work on these, with a strand of yarn thru UNbound edges. I think. Nobody at our other site know? Post it in the forums.

I ended up posting in Ravelry's forum and decided to bind off completely.... the rest of them said they did that so yeah. Smilie Thanks for responding though. Big Grin
