- About Me:
- I always considered myself a sewer first, knitter second. All that has changed in the last two years or so with the onset of Psoriatic Arthritis. I've been branching out into lace knitting and socks lately, and plan to tackle Fair Isle as soon as possible. If I go even one day without knitting, my fingers grow stiff. I now have the wonderful excuse of "Physical Therapy" to spend a little time every day knitting!
My favorite designers are Norah Gaughan, Kate Gilbert, and Nancy Bush. Elizabeth Zimmermann's "Knitting Without Tears" helped me relax and "be the boss" of my knitting.
My favorite knitting magazine is "Interweave Knits". There are usually at least half a dozen patterns that I have to make out of each issue.
I love Knitpicks!! With the economy the way it is, Knitpicks is an oasis of sensible prices and lots of support. I've even switched from Addis to the Knitpicks Nickel-plated Options and I love them.

The whole idea of attaching a disembodied needle point to a cable, and then having it work exactly right seemed ludicrous; I was sure this type of needle would be awkward and irritating.

Just read your note about having trouble getting podcasts onto your ipod - When you look at the podcast in itunes, you need to be sure the episode has a blue dot next to it - You can right-click on the episode and mark it as "new" or "not new". If it is marked as "New" - it should transfer to your ipod when you syc it. Does this help?
Warmly, Willow
