NaBloPoMo 15
Nov 15th, 2009 | By wool gatherer | Category: Knit, nablopomoOh dear. I have absolutely nothing to say!
The weekend is a blank. I’ve cooked a fair bit and messed around with Facebook. That’s it. Nothing of interest whatsoever.
The stove still isn’t in – but we do have an algae-free back yard.
Um.
No.
Sorry.
There just isn’t anything at all.
Is this a NaBloPoMo Fail? or does waffling on about nothing actually count as a post?
I want to watch Dr Who. Is it up on the iPlayer yet?
Oooh – just thought of something worth saying!
The Winter Twist Collective went up today. This is what I want make for myself:
I’d also like to make this, but cannot see myself wearing it
Skara Brae (seems predestined!) by Stephanie van der Linden (of the Laetitia socks)
and then, there is this – I’ve been after a nice Chullo pattern but have to admit that colourwork isn’t really my “thing”. It would be a large challenge for me.
Polar Bears!
Which is your favourite pattern from this edition? Leave a comment – I’m tired of talking to myself!
Like you I love Klemscott. I also want to learn double knitting so maybe I’ll do the hat that accompanies the tutorial. Katie(Quote)

Good luck to you!
I have very little taste for knitting methods that slow me down – I like to romp to the end of a project while I am still enthusiastic about it – for me, double knitting would be a slow and painful death. A bit of a shame really, because a double knitted hat would be just the thing in Orkney (doesn’t mean to say I’m going to try it though!)
The general principle means that I avoid fair isle* as well, although I have a sneaking desire to attempt some twined knitting. The one place that I will not be going is the knit-one-sock-inside-another arena – which is practically the same as double knitting, I think – except not actually (intentionally at least) joined together.
* “One day” I shall learn Continental and the art of knitting with one colour in each hand and then I may be better disposed to colour work. wool gatherer(Quote)

Surely you don’t mean that? Think of all the chocolate you could eat!

I can’t wait to learn double knitting and make the four winds hat for my husband the orienteer.
I am glad I found your blog.
