Eris' Stitch'n'Bitch--AKA the Discordian Craft Corner

[Malaul]

I had the coolest scarf once
My mom knitted it
it was long enough to go around the neck once then hang down.
the ends of the scarf had been folded up and sewn to make lil pockets/gloves at the end

I loved that thing till it was in pieces

I have to make a scarf for the second project in the knitting class.
I love the idea of little pockets on the ends.

Thank you for that idea.

I ended up adding buttons to the ends when I got older this way I could secure my car keys when I wasnt wearing the scarfand didnt happen to have pockets

[Toots]

Pockets are an awesome idea! My "better" half is six feet tall and requested a scarf that would be long enough to wrap around the neck twice and then hang down to the ground--both sides of it. That took for ever to knit...most likely because I used needles that were too thin.

Pay attention to needle widths when you're starting out knitting, if you use the wrong one it can totally threw your whole project out of whack. I know this well from personal experience.  

LHX, I think pockets will be a must for yer scarf no?

The teacher in the class I signed up for told us what size needles to buy and also asked that everyone have a ruler with which to measure the gauge of the projects. I have a tendency to knit too tightly, so this will be a good thing.

I love the long scarf.

Ever since watching Tom Baker as Dr. Who as a kid I wanted the longest scarf possible - and they really are very helpful when its -40.

Fortunately, that doesn't seem to happen where we live anymore.

[LHX]

maybe they installed heaters in the sky somewhere


this weather is really strange

[hooplala]

I think it's hell breaking through.

[LHX]

i cant get my hopes up for that shit anymore


LHX - is in denial about getting his hopes up

[hooplala]

Have patience.

[LHX]

Have patience.

i need to borrow somebody elses


my patience fields have seen drought lately

[hooplala]

Maybe try mugging Christians??  They've been waiting for their superhero to return to save them for over two thousand years.

Now THAT'S patience.

I'll stop threadjacking now.

Please carry on with your worship of Pallas Athene.  I will be standing over there, out of smiting range.
