Also I'm wondering how much that much yarn is going to cost!  :o

Three words: car boot sale  ;D

You can just use a basic acrylic DK which is like £1-2 per 100g.  It's probably the only type of yarn which will have the color selection you'd need as well.

I'm feeling like a right numpty: I just figured out that I've been wrapping the yarn the wrong direction when purling. :-[

I'm going to have to rip out the bag half I have almost finished, because if I purl the "right" way it looks different, and I don't want to reinforce bad habits. :P :P :P

On the bright side, the mistake has been causing my purls to be impossibly tight. I will be a much happier knitter now! :)

That's too bad Elynor, but at least you found out now, instead of years down the line!

Hope it works out okay! :)

Just found out that my BF from back home is preggers.  They don't know the sex yet and haven't chosen colors so I'm making a cotton baby bib which is going to have a lion face on it when I'm finished.  And baby wash cloths.

I kind of think we need to resurrect this thread. What do you all think?

Sure :) I'm working on an afghan, using up assorted colors of homespun yarn.

I'm making a scarf for a friend and am about half way through it. Then a scarf to ship to my mom for Christmas. I don't think I've ever made her one.

Which yarn is that? It's a beautiful color palette :)

It's Cygnet Boho Spirit in Folk. 100% acrylic and it's gorgeous.

Do you find it weird that Brits call them colour ways?

I just dug out my homespun blanket when the weather turned!  It's perfect for that! :)

I must admit I already have 2, one is on the bed and the other is a one person afghan on the couch. So now when this is done we can both be warm on the couch!

I've tried knitting before but gave up in frustration. I wish I could make myself try it again. That scarf is gorgeous!
