Aargh
I have been haunting all kinds of knitting blogs of late. I am not a knitter. I have knitting needles of all sorts. I have yarn. I have a knitting bag and I have knitting books. I have knit several socks. I have a funny (to me anyway) knitting blog name. But I am not a real knitter. Yet.
I am trying to learn to knit lace, thanks to all these blogs. I have some "Lacette" by Paton. Maybe I should try to teach myself to knit lace with something so fuzzy. This stuff which is only 25% mohair wants to felt like nobodies business. Not so good for tinking - a term which I learned reading knitting blogs. I am doing a lot of tinking as I learn to knit lace. Eventually I will post a picture of my poor ratty little experiment. I know lace has to be blocked but can mostly fake lace weight be blocked? Maybe I'll experiment with the stupid cotton sock yarn that I dropped in the mud in Seattle.
