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.
