I was just reading Annie Modesitts knitting blog. She was talking about how people tell her she is knitting wrong. When I was buying yarn for Tubey I went to Jennifer Knits (I don't like this yarn store at all). I was able to find the one nice helper in the shop and she got me some really nice yarn. I knit up a gauge swatch right there in the store and when I was done the lady complemented me on how fast I knit. The shopkeeper Jennifer must have heard because she came up and took one look at my knitting and said, " Oh youre knitting wrong." She then proceeded to show me how to knit the right way. I was so mad. I could have just blown up in her face but instead I just pretended to agree with her. It was a horrible experience. I strongly suggest you dont get your yarn there.
In other knitting news I have started my Christmas gift knitting. This is one of the reasons why I love Ravelry. In my queue I can order the projects so when I look at it I know exactly what I want to knit, for who, with what kind of yarn, and when I need to finish it. It is so cool!
Hi Again
As some of you may have figured out I was in Amsterdam last week.I will show you pics later. I did a lot of knitting and visited a wonderful yarn shop, De Afstap. I got some Regia sock yarn and cast on some socks for my step dad Andy who has huge feet. I worked for about 12 cm whaen I realized my stitch count was off. I decreased down to the right # and kept on knitting. Then it happened again and again. I had to rip it all out and am now finished with the cuff ribbing. Thats about it until I get the pictures.
Tubey
Look I finished Tubey!!!!
I Love this pattern. I want to knit it again with stripes but that amount of yarn costs a lot especially when you dont have an allowance**cough cough DAD**.
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. For a long time I just didn't have my knitting mojo and then I was occupied with knitting Tubey. I wanted to finish it before I went on Thanksgiving vacation...to AMSTERDAM!!!!! I cant wait and have already found yarn store there that I can go to.
Which brings me to the next part of my post: Ravelry!! Thats right. I got in. It is so cool! I have already posted my projects and filled up my queue. I highly recommend it.
Well its good to be back. I just hope it'll stay like that.
