I've had to re-cast every project I've ever started on them. <br />And forget gauges!

I used bulky weight yarn for Seth's bday sweater and that is the only reason I got it finished on time. I am realizing that it will be a miracle if I finish Keats' sweater in time for his bday b/c his is knit at a tighter gauge.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554195760602365553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-29835137050130786382011-01-26T19:34:02.000-06:002011-01-26T19:34:02.000-06:00Oh I am terrible with gauge swatches too--I rarely...Oh I am terrible with gauge swatches too--I rarely do them and when I do, I don't really know how to use them!KnitterMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13392738913768835681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-65944035754193587512011-01-26T18:03:25.350-06:002011-01-26T18:03:25.350-06:00I'm often impatient when I cast on a new proje...I'm often impatient when I cast on a new project - I want to start right away!

Tip - never knit a sweater on bulky and then a sweater on fingerling. Oh the fingerling sweater seemed to take me sooooo long.<br /><br />Good luck with the writing. I find it one of the hardest things to teach.<br /><br />Blessings, Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02630706720265906934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-1410653761037137452011-01-26T13:07:25.399-06:002011-01-26T13:07:25.399-06:00I often think that knitting is a great metephor fo...I often think that knitting is a great metephor for life :)<br />So many lessons in patience to be had there.<br />I've got to get round to some bulky yarn patterns, they are so satisfyingly quick.<br />At the moment I've got some 2 and 4 ply baby patterns to tackle eeek!suzyhttp://scrapsofstarlightlight.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-19032622630330067542011-01-26T11:59:43.964-06:002011-01-26T11:59:43.964-06:00The yarn is beautiful.

My husband is a carpenter and always repeats that phrase to me especially when I've working on a quilt. Patience is a virtue I think every mother strives for and knitting is a great way to help or to test it:)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760006352370178476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-47979440252327937452011-01-26T07:22:55.687-06:002011-01-26T07:22:55.687-06:00It will be beautiful!
