sharpchick_2011The community was recommended to me by a DW member whose journal I follow.
I'm loving the photos of your projects, and hoping I can get there someday.
Right now, I'm doing simple scarves - knit stitch only for the moment.
My first one went quite well. Today, I bought some Camp Stove yarn by Berroco and started my second scarf (using US size 11 needles). My yarn shop winds my yarn for me.
And here's my question - I know this is a twisted yarn, but it's really bizarre how the yarn is feeding out of the ball.
Parts of it come out flat, as you see it on the hank before it's wound.
And then, sometimes it comes out twisted into the tiniest bit of yarn, which seems to untwist as I knit with it, before my eyes.
It's like having a visual and tactile hallucination.
Should I have started knitting with the yarn on the outside of the ball instead of from the center? I bought another color use for another scarf, and if the answer to the question is yes, then I'll know better on that one...

Last Month's Knitting
Jan. 2nd, 2012 11:55 pmglindaWhen busily knitting other people's presents, it's always good to have a fun project to take with you when you go visit the person whose present is currently on your needles. I picked up a ball of Pompon because it looked fun and one of the woman at my knitting bee had enthused about it. I love the texture of this wool. Plus it's always useful to have an emergency present in reserve...
