This is my winter scarf. Basic feather and fan stitch. Baby blanket I made for a friend. Sorry it's such a bad pic!  And I never take pictures of anything because I suck (not at knitting I mean just in general) so that's all I got. EDIT: Hahhahahaa I totally forgot about my penis cozy. It was a piece of poo poo that I made for a friend who was a domme and she gave it to one of her clients.

Tuesday Morning posted:So I have kind of a silly question, but after seeing how awesome this stuff in here is, I figure you guys would know best. I'm a novice crocheter but it seems to me that anything like that would be more representative of your tension while crocheting or knitting. I've seen beautiful things made by crochet that were still functional and I've knitted plenty of lace that wouldn't keep you warm on a 70 degree day. Also, yeah, take some drat pictures already since I forgot to!

yuk_mistress posted:This is lovely. How did you get the border on that. I'm almost done with a scarf (my first project yippie) and I'm using 3 different skeins, basically using different yarn every 2 rows, and the edge where the yarn runs up the side is sloppy, I was thinking of crocheting an edge but then I have a "right side" and a "wrong side". I think I'm ok with that, I just want a clean finished piece. I just did single crochet around the edge. Thanks by the way!

I'm glad to see that not everyone is using 100% natural fibers. Stitch N' Bitch makes me feel like a douche because I'm always reaching for the acrylic, but you guys make me feel better for being so cheap. Not only am I broke, I also have a mild wool allergy and knitting with it for a long time gives me a rash.

Midnight Sun posted:I also tried knitting my so called scarf, but as usual my edges look like crap. I usually crochet a border around mine. It makes them look a lot neater.

Midnight Sun posted:I don't know how to crochet. It's very easy to do! You just do this, except you do it right into the edges of the scarf instead of into a crochet chain. Crocheting basics are very very simple to learn. If you learned how to knit on your own, you'll really realize that crochet is about 10 times easier! At least to learn on your own anyway.

Ozma posted:I get SO irritated with people who think you'll burn in hell if you're not using 100% natural stuff. And for those of us with wool allergies (sob!) cotton doesn't always work for a lot of projects since it doesn't have that elasticity that wool and acrylics have.

Yarn snobs bug me! I love really beautiful yarn and am really interested in hand-spun stuff and really respect those who do it. But I knit on a budget PLUS I actually don't mind the feel of acrylics depending on how they are- whereas 100% wool makes me incredibly itchy. I'd rather knit with materials knowing that I'll utilize them whether they're acrylic, cotton, a blend, etc than knit with something just because it's natural-only only to have the item sit in a closet.

Am I nuts for thinking that something like this would be perfect for blocking? http://www.amazon.com/Tadpoles-Solid-Playmat-Set-Blue/dp/B003ZYEEIC/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1297028882&sr=1-2 Tell me why I'm wrong before I spend money!

I end up ripping everything I start out at least once. I'm an insane perfectionist though, I'm sure no one would see my "mistakes" except for me.

I love that baby blanket! I have a lace fetish because I'm a 90 year old woman hiding in a 28 year old's body.

My little girl needed a scarf, so I made one. This is the first thing I have ever made that I've actually blocked haha.  I had to reblock it after this photo because the first blocking didn't quite take, as you can see.
