I anticipate using it often. If just for the fun of it. Also, it may make you feel better to know that the "patterns" I'm reusing are not complicated - we're talking K2P2 ribbing and the like. Don't get discouraged. My first scarf looked like a retarded tapeworm - all big on one end and skinny and mishapen on the other. It takes time.FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-78214124498425200252006-10-30T13:41:00.000-08:002006-10-30T13:41:00.000-08:00I've been reading your blog for a while and have b...I've been reading your blog for a while and have been loving it -- but felt especially compelled to comment today because...<br /><br />a) I've been to Arkansas. In case of trouble, be prepared to scream "hey, is that billy ray cyrus?" and run like hell in the opposite direction.<br /><br />b) I was tempted to buy yarn this weekend and could not resist the temptation. <br /><br />c) The reality hit me upon reading this that I buy yarn when I can't knit to save my life (I average 1 inch per 4 hours of knitting), will never be able to memorize a pattern much less create one from all the one's I've memorized.<br /><br />So, I suppose I shall have to live vicariously and fulfill my enjoyment of greek food, knitting, and well, NOT visiting Arkansas through you. :)<br /><br />Thanks.adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08912409618929660858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-84692786340325669522006-10-29T07:38:00.000-08:002006-10-29T07:38:00.000-08:00Go K1fb!

Or I will just get impressively drunk and run topless through the neighborhood. Touche!<br /><br />Oh, I'll email now. Weird blogger in beta.<br /><br />Lera- You know that I did not. But I did think about it a lot while I was knitting. And again my laziness kicked in and I thought, "Well, I can figure it out by looking at the gloves themselves!" And then I realized I was giving the gloves away. D'oh! <br /><br />You'd be surprised how easy it is to "create your own pattern" when you're really just cobbling together a bunch old patterns in your head.

Just one question: Finny, have you ever <i>been</i> to Arkansas? Even people in Missouri (which is, in itself, a pretty strange place at times) make fun of Arkansas!Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.com
