I do that for amigurumi because it gives it a bit of weight to stand or sit. The soft fluff makes it so it is super huggable.

I don't know what to call that edge..."the top" doesn't sound right but it's definitely not at the bottom. Oh well, the edge that goes along your neck. Sort of. <br /><br />And I like that I got further along without trying :)Renee Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513788818111774118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829752781266046522.post-13814838477797359862012-08-22T15:45:22.210-07:002012-08-22T15:45:22.210-07:00I've been finding that most of my projects tak...I've been finding that most of my projects take the same needles and I only have a couple sets/pairs of each, and they're all occupied...oops.

Well, that's when the obsession started. I tried to learn how to knit a few years prior to that but it didn't catch on very well. So, I've only been knitting for four years. <br /><br />I have quite the yarn and needle and fiber collection, however...and books...oh my Bob do I have books!

The first chart is the one that's kind of a pill to work with because you work it in full, then part of it over and over and over and over and over, then a different part of it. It's a little confusing.<br /><br />The nice part about this particular shawl is that all the charts are written out, as well. I've actually been working from the written directions as I'm not good with charts.

I had to Pin It.<br />I love knitting socks but they can take awhile if they're not the only project being focused upon. So I understand how progress is slow on your Hermiones.<br />Sorry it's been so crazy here w/school starting tomorrow. I'm not sure when we can go out and play as I need to get into the rhythm of a new schedule and oh gee, ballet schedule will change as well in Sept. which doesn't help. But we will before the year's out, I promise.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081916135477167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829752781266046522.post-86258372472468375582012-08-19T15:37:05.879-07:002012-08-19T15:37:05.879-07:00You have been busy!
