Okay I feel like I'm cheating a bit here. I have a pair of needles that are connected each other by a clear fishing line thing. The needles them selves are only a little longer than my closed hand. I tried the set I bought but I couldn't do it.
I knit almost everything with circular needles. Even socks and mittens -- with 100 or 120 cm cables, using the "magic loop" method. So much easier (and more portable) than using a set of dpns.

Circular needles are great! I have an interchangable set that I do most of my knitting on.

I´m finally able to show you an update on my fan-quilt-project, too. I´m ... well let´s say content with the result. There was a big flaw in my template which I recognized too late and I am not sure about the colouring... but I think he is recognizable at least. Everyone who can tell me the page from which I took the original picture gets a cookie :)

The picture is very recognizable and I`ll help myself with a cookie, thank you.
What program did you use for the picture? I have been looking at some free ones at net..

And now the really difficult part starts: fumbling all the paper out of the backside...

I hope you remembered to use a very short stitch!

Yes, a very short stitch, which is why it´s such a pain to get the paper out. There is a method of using diaper-fleece instead of the paper, maybe I´ll try this with the next one.
I use the free program QuiltAssistent, you can find it on this homepage: http://www.cosman.nl.

I´ve never seen anything like that! It looks very cool and fitting for your mug.
I wonder if I could crochet something similar...

Ok, managed to take a few photos of the sweater as it looks worn. I'm still considering crocheting around the hem...



Sorry about the awkward pose. I took the photos with a selftimer and I was turning too soon. :D I didn't get a good one of the front, alas, and I still have to figure out just how the fastening in the front is supposed to work.

Also now I'm thinking I could have made it even wider for even more folds, because Braidy's cloak-thing really looks full at the back. Hmmm... I could maybe knit extra side pieces and just add them on the side seams... or maybe I'll just start by making the set of clothes that goes under the cloak and see how that affects the look. This project may eventually turn into a cosplay.

Been linked from the Disqus comments when expressing my yearning for Reynir's coat. This is most amazing and it even falls in the same way. *bows-in-amazement*


This whole thread makes me want to pick up the crochet hook again or try to learn knitting again. So many great things in here.

I totally didn't start this scarf two days ago, it's totally not almost as long as my arm. I totally didn't just learn to knitt. . .I think I learn too quickly.

Would give me more projects for my way to work. First crochet hooks and re-freshing. I don't know how many years ago I had one of those in my hands last. :O
Also, the real question is, will I ever finish anything I start?

If you don't start to buy wool by "yes, but the color was so lovely, I've take six ball of them, I'm sure I'll find the perfect project for it later", you can still be saved ^^

I've already done that.' Oh discount expensive yarn? Super soft? Heck yeah I'll take it!' I also do that with fabric, paint, canvas, any other craft stuff.

I don't do that! (Totally has a hoard of sock yarn because all you need is 4 oz/100 g for a pair....And the color was pretty....)

I can sort of knit but I kinda stink. I can do one line(is that what you call it?) , I used to be able to do more, but that was two years ago. (get with the program, me!)
I say vol, you say tron! Vol!
…Voltron?

Well... *Look at her drawer full of wool and some few fabrics* Maybe we're already lost and should consider taking part to what Laufey call "this madness" ? ^^°
