So they are wooden not plastic? 8D

Gonna try planning a book binding project today.

I got the apron pieces all cut out. Found bias tape that matches the accent color I had chosen (turns out the bias tape is made by the same company that made the fat quarter I chose for the accent, so it matches perfectly), and thread to match to the bias tape and accent pieces. I still need to iron and sew, but progress has been made!

Definitely wooden, yes. They are cherry wood, size US 50/25mm.

[Den]

Ah, yes, the infamous Stabbey Stabbey needles. I think every knitter has encountered those at least once and had that same thought.

[Kaderin Triste]

Lol. 25mm wooden knitting needles...for the crafty slayer.

[Den]

hang on. I actually know of a pattern for an anatomically correct knitted heart.


Edit: Found it!

[Kaderin Triste]

Lol. If I only I actually knew how to knit...
XD
I am very slowly learning.

[Damies]

Congrats on progress, Den!

Did you get big needles to learn on, with a project in mind, Kaderin?


I uh... never planned the book I was gonna do.... played more games instead ; n;

[Kaderin Triste]

In theory, I figured they'd be easier to learn on. But no real project in mind.

I mean, with the fuzzy, chunky yarn I'm using, my practice piece will probably be a thick scarf? I did 2 rows last night. Took forever to remember how to do the long tail cast on, and it was not easy finding a knit tutorial that had good images, but wasn't a video. But it's slowly coming back to me. I did self-teach myself to knit about 9-10ish years ago, but gave it up when I discovered looms. I hadn't actually made anything other than some mismatched fuzzy leg warmers anyway. But I want to learn needle knitting and crocheting because there are more patterns for those than for looming currently and I would like to actually try some intricate shawls or cardigans eventually. More intricate than currently exists on looms anyway. (Although there are some awesome people out there who are making and converting patterns for looms, which is cool.)

My mom could teach you crochet! Except for that pesky distance junk....

We are having a cold snap and I just wanna sleep in my warm bed all day. ; n;

[Kaderin Triste]

Damn you not living here! *shakes fist*

[trystan830]

*wonders if i'm any closer in southeastern PA*

i could teach you to crochet too! =)

[Kaderin Triste]

Nope. You're definitely farther
XD
Damies is 2 states away, you're across the country.

[trystan830]

oh. well, pooh. :S

[Kaderin Triste]

Yeah.
Lol, as far as I can tell, Glitch is probably the user who lives closest to me out of everyone.

[trystan830]

well that part's pretty cool though!
