So do you kinda have two...Katie- <BR/>Ooooh... marbled! So do you kinda have two loopies on each stitch if you are holding two strands of yarn?<BR/>I looked up seed stitch! Are you doing k,p,k,p and then p,k,p,k? I saw there were a couple different ways of doing it... in case you had even or odd rows and such.<BR/><BR/>Suzy-<BR/>Thanks! I was hoping fun needles would motivate me! I know they are bears but I think they kinda look like dogs! : )<BR/><BR/>Myriam-<BR/>I am having fun! But my index finger is sore today... I'm still knitting tight and I push the needle with my finger a lot. I'm working on it! I know that it's supposed to be harder to knit with bigger needles (I now have a 9 and a 10) but I can't help but wonder if I'd knit looser? Does that make sense?Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568178814731793351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24472934.post-34281656543492588442009-01-26T20:31:00.000-05:002009-01-26T20:31:00.000-05:00yay! welcome to the club-i am glad you are enjoyin...yay! welcome to the club-i am glad you are enjoying it :) Looking forward to your future projects.

I'm ...I'm doing Rich's scarf in Navy blue and gray. I'm doing the two colors at the same time (so it's marbled rather than striped). I'm using size 8 needles in seed stitch. I really like seed stitch; once you know how to purl, you can do it too!<BR/><BR/>I chickened out on the circular needles for now. I have a pattern for a baby sweater, and I'm going to try that even though it calls for a different yarn weight than what I have. I'll do the hat later with circular needles if the sweater comes out okay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24472934.post-79478383215796443392009-01-25T16:42:00.000-05:002009-01-25T16:42:00.000-05:00Oh!

Chris asked me to make him a scarf and he picked out his own yarn, a black and a grey. : )<BR/><BR/>I actually have four preggers friends right now but I don't dare try to make anything "real" like a baby hat or booties! <BR/>I can't wait to see more photos of your projects! Fill me in on how the circular needles go! <BR/><BR/>I only know the garter stitch now but I think I will get the chance to learn to purl on Wednesday... someone will show me! But first I want to seam that little bag!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568178814731793351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24472934.post-60805166276599256982009-01-25T08:46:00.000-05:002009-01-25T08:46:00.000-05:00I tried to warn you!

I decided to make Rich a scarf (which I hope to finish today), and some friends are having a baby, so I thought I'd try to make a hat and maybe a little sweater or something. Now I just have to try knitting with circular needles--scary!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
