Someone Else Who Knows More than I do...

There is a Ravelry Group tournament of Geekiness, of which I was totally unaware.  It makes sense of course.  A good number of the people I know from Science Fiction Fandom also knit or sew or bead or at least don't let their hands wander off to Satan's Workshop without a good pattern.

Up until recently, when I felt like weaving something on the Rigid Heddle, I would just pull out some yarn and the heddles and figure out which fit what with the least amount of pilling/gaps.  This was because most instructions I had discovered approached weaving by starting with the heddle and deciding which yarn to buy for it, and not starting from the yarn on hand and discovering which heddle would work well.

With this blog it's no longer a problem, and I'll be poking through the ravelry group a little later.  For now, here's the URL to NERD WARS.

Long Time No See

It's hard to believe it's been over a year since my last post.

This won't be much of a post.  I'm here to introduce you to someone else's tutorial on knitting Fair Isle patterns, in the round, without creating long floats.

I admit, I'm posting this now so that I can find it anytime I need to refresh my skills.

This is the YouTube tutorial, " Fair Isle Knitting - Carrying Floats - Two Hands"

Have a good one!  Promise it won't be so long before the next post.  I bought toys.  There were be pictures.
