Apparently all it took was the shame of telling the whole internet about my unfinished projects. I reduced the number of remaining rows and finished up the slouchy purple hat last night with just inches to spare. continue reading…
Is there any benefit to teaching myself how to knit both ways? I learned English, but whenever I read about knitting I see comments about how “awkward” “slow” and “inefficient” English style is. Should I learn Continental too?
