You listened to my constant waffling over whether I should do this hat in allover cables or mostly stockinette.
You comforted me as I panicked and despaired over the total bitch that is the edging for my shawl, which tried to detach itself last night. I am sorry if I scared you while I was hyperventilating.
(knitters--it turns out I am attaching it backwards, and there's a visible seam. I am tempted to like it, but I kinda can't decide. Any thoughts?)
You cheered me on as I blocked "that brown thing," and then you learned the difference between "feral"
...and "fair isle."
wait...there's a difference between "feral" and "fair isle"???
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see it!
Ooh, I like the cables on the hat! And I think the shawl/edge attachment looks just fine from here.
ReplyDeleteOh, please send my best regards to the greatest boyfriend in the whole world. And he should consider subscribing to this blog in bloglines -- Feral Knitter, who does a lot of really cool Fair Isle: http://feralknitter.typepad.com/feral_knitter/
ReplyDeleteHe IS the greatest boyfriend in the world and we wish him a very happy birthday, too. He's also about the most patient person I've ever met to support you like he has in your knitting "journey." ....and as you stand around talking to him and knitting at the same time....
ReplyDeleteNice feral photo - it cracked me up!
oh...the cap looks beautiful! He gave you good advice. I love the edging on the shawl.

Happy Birthday Liz's Boyfriend. Thanks for being patient because, as another knitter, we sure can talk about it incessantly. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your boyfriend!
ReplyDeleteThat's so good that he learned the difference!!
ReplyDeleteHe's a keeper. :) Happy Birthday to him! Love the hat, the shawl looks great from what I can see... and I can't wait to see Venezia! I told someone in Finland about it and she visited, was a bit discouraged about your pile of ends though. :)
ReplyDeleteWow that's looking like a beautiful Venezia in that last picture. I can't wait to see the final result.
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is gorgeous!
Venezia is going to be SO pretty! Can't wait...
ReplyDeleteHappy belated to your BF!
