Day 24: Have you ever made your own pattern or dyed your own yarn? How did it turn out?I've never designed my own knitting pattern, no... But if I had graph paper handy, who knows - I might attempt it ( Read more... )

Day 23: If you had the supplies (and patience) for it, what project would you start today?

Day 22: Have you ever stricken someone off your to-knit-for list because they didn't appreciate/take care of your last knitted gift to them?I have never taken anyone off my gift-giving list because of that reason. Indeed, since most of my gifts have gone to people far away, I have no idea how/if they're taking care of the knit items I've given them ( Read more... )

Day 21: Do you knit gifts for friends and family for the holidays or birthdays?Sort of? :-/ I tend to give them things I've knitted... But I don't usually associate it with a particular date in mind, I guess.

Day 18: Do you knit English or Continental?

Day 17: Have you ever had a project that you loved become ruined? What's the story behind it?

Sadly, the answer is yes, even though I've only been knitting for a year. It started with the Chinese Wave dishcloth that I was working on, around ten or eleven months ago...

( sob story... (no, not really) )

Day 16: Have you ever had a knitting related injury?Hmm. I don't think I've had an injury directly related to knitting... I do know that when I knit for long periods of time, the joints at the bottom of my pointer and middle fingers on my left hand start to ache... But those also ache when I'm doing a lot of fine spinning, too, since those are my ( Read more... )
