Ladder yarn on big needles, in the round.....going to swatch. :)Tigershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629567475130292179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20357978.post-1139904727250160262006-02-14T18:42:00.000+10:302006-02-14T18:42:00.000+10:30YAY I am not the only one with ridiculous amounts ...YAY I am not the only one with ridiculous amounts of feathers. I no longer want to make scarves with it and have added it to the blanky pile. May be one crazy weird blanky if I decide to stick with it but i'll have room for more yarn if I do.<BR/><BR/>And I totally understand the procrastination tactics........ bianca's sock is going very slowly while I keep glaring at the kidsilk haze.<BR/>Actually I quite enjoyed your delaying tactics....... I love looking at yarn stashes :) And I want your purple sock wool And and and LOLYarnsticksbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10428763894885816858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20357978.post-1139903222264704072006-02-14T18:17:00.000+10:302006-02-14T18:17:00.000+10:30Maybe you could try a different project for the ol...Maybe you could try a different project for the olympics. I don't know how fast you knit or if you have the yarn, but I knit the mini-sweater from glampyre.com pretty quickly and it's pretty cute. There's also always the teddy scarf.Vanessa Vainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630187435708443087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20357978.post-1139898121276889482006-02-14T16:52:00.000+10:302006-02-14T16:52:00.000+10:30I just feel bad because it was a Knitting Olympics...I just feel bad because it was a Knitting Olympics project and I really wanted to complete it. I'll still knit it but with a few changes and as the yarn I want to knit it with now has to be sent to me I'm not going to make the deadline. Oh well.Tigershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629567475130292179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20357978.post-1139881889784696022006-02-14T12:21:00.000+10:302006-02-14T12:21:00.000+10:30Wow, Lady! That's a lot of yarn. :) I too have wha...Wow, Lady! That's a lot of yarn. :) I too have what seems like a ridiculous amount of yarn in my stash. And I'm also a product knitter. I find it impossible to finish a project I know I won't want when its done. And if that's how you feel about the shawl, ball it back up and move on. Knitting should not be a pressure sport!<BR/><BR/>As for swatching I think it's always a good idea to wash them. But then I've never worked with that yarn.
