New Knitting Thread (And spinning) (And crochet too I guess)
Liz:
I want some of you talented knitters to start doing this: http://crispgreen.com/2008/11/non-toxic-taggers-strike/
Report in to me when your mission is accomplished.

Oh my god that is way hardcore and makes me want to know how to knit.

That is pretty awesome.

I finished another hat today, but I don't think I like it. It's warm and I like how even I made the top, plus it allowed me lots of stranding-practice (I screwed up the pattern a coule of times on the first row of squares, but couldn't be bothered to fix it :p), but it's just..not me at all, which I guess I knew, but I wanted to make it anyways :p Maybe I'll ask one of my brothers if he wants it, but I doubt it'll fit his giant head (and that he'll want it). I also think the double hem-thingy sort of messed with the pattern, because it got stretched out, even though I used smaller needles. However, it's nice to have tried making one. Aanyways, pictures, with a bonus wonderfully soft yarn in one. It is 100% alpaca, and it is so wonderful (and expensive :p) that I'm afraid to knit something out of it, in case I mess it up :p I'm considering http://evasunivers.blogspot.com/2007/08/made-by-eva-nr-1.html , but I'm not sure :/ Suggestions would be appreciated! It is a fairly thick yarn, as you might see.
It is fairly obvious in that last picture how it gets less messed up as I approach the top :p

I finished a Dobby hat for Jimmy last night. (Sorry for the camera phone photo.) I am proud of it! I edited the pattern a tad to make it bigger and also a little bit longer. I also didn't do the edges the way the pattern said, so my stitching looks a ton better (or at least I think so, it's not an obvious stitch up anyways.)
And now I'm going to teach myself how to double knit and make a scarf for Shane. This'll be fun. Edit: I'm making this in green and cream. It'll be pretty awesome.
