It seemed like a genuine *sigh* I wish I could *sigh*. Bah. In general, he was probably a very nice man, but he picked my ass.<BR/><BR/>Nope, he didn't really care about most public displays of anything. He is one of the most uninhibited people I've ever met. I think he had maybe seen a couple of those self-satisfied public knitters, who are a bit show offy about it, looking around to see who's looking, and branded us all with the same brush.<BR/><BR/>Andrea: Great! Next week or the week after? <BR/><BR/>Knitting in the round is easy and means much less sewing in of ends, which I hate.Asteroidea Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260523018938986888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12027160.post-39842371436223904052007-11-16T09:25:00.000-05:002007-11-16T09:25:00.000-05:00In person please!I haven't tried knitting in the r...In person please!<BR/><BR/>I haven't tried knitting in the round yet, but someday I'd like to. My Hot Knitting Teacher is off somewhere writing a book, so I've been slowly losing bits of my limited knitting knowledge. Such as casting off.

He's probably one of those people who hates it when anyone calls attention to themselves in any way. I used to knit and crochet and cross stitch my little heart out in public...most notably on the Go-Train commuting to and from work every day. It was a relaxing and constructive way to use that down-time. I think my fellow commuters enjoyed it too...they seemed mesmerized by watching my hands.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099069884708593835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12027160.post-28555573325241591792007-11-16T08:43:00.000-05:002007-11-16T08:43:00.000-05:00I don't really know why.

Maybe because he wished he could knit?<BR/><BR/>To cast off: knit two stitches, slip the first over the second (left-ways, and off the needle), knit another stitch, slip the right-most stitch left-ways over the new stitch and off the needle, and so on. <BR/><BR/>It's really really easy to pull this too tight and fuck up your otherwise gorgeous tension. I have to cast off way looser than I knit.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'd be happy to show you in person if this doesn't make any sense.<BR/><BR/>Have you knit in the round?
