Well..it's Saturday....but I posted on Sunday.
I dont have much to do, yanno?
So, I thought I would write another
facinating blog entry.
I found some 3mm DPN's.
What's with calling both 3mm and
3.25 mm needles size three?
Frugal knitter call em size 2 1/2.
That just makes alot more sense to me.
Anyways, they are only $ 6.50!
AND they are 10 inches!
I really was wanting some longer
DPN's.
Since I use size 3 the most...well..
I have wanted to use size 2 1/2...
but all I can find is size 3.25 mm...
anyways..I am going to get those
2 1/2 needles and now use those for most of my socks.
I have the flu...am I making ANY sense at all?
I think I'll save this as a draft
go do the SuperGirl chart for my
oldest girl's pink and white sweater.
SUNDAY
DAMN IT! I did all this work on finishing this post
..and Blogger couldn't complete my request...
and it's gone!
ok...
I have something to add anyways.
I could pretend I had added it..
you wouldn't know the difference.
But I'm honest.
I found some size 2.5 DPN's at Joann's!
They are plastic....my least fav material ...
(inspite of my beloved Denise set.)
And they are only 8 inches...but that's still a bit longer
...and I think it'll help when I'm doing hats.
I got a pair in size 13 also.
I am aquiring quite the needle collection..
as in I have the Denise set
AND I have a two needlecases full.
That makes me sooooo happy.
( Actually...pitured here..it doesn't look all
that impressive! Oh well..I have a few circs too? )
I wish I had a set of bamboo interchangables.
That would be...well...
The thought is making me all hot and bothered.
I wonder if I could call up my hubby and have him
talk some knitting with me...
( He has been sick all week...I haven't had any action.
So forgive me, ok? And anyways...isn't he cute?
He says I made him better looking than he really is...not true.)
Now onto Supergirl.
I use www.microrevolt.org/knitPro/
to make my charts.
I do ALOT ( often HOURS worth of
work prior to the
initial chart being made) to them
after, because they have
so many color variences.
But I still give credit.
I am NOT going to use 58 colors in achart...thanks.
Sorry..can't share the chart for this one...copyright issues.
But here is what I will knit for my daughter's sweater.
The yarn is more baby/bubblegum
pink than here...but Photoshop wasn't cooperating.
Wow..it posted this time..in spite of
getting the same error message.
Lets hope the link I made works too.

I used to prefer to use mm sizes for needles myself. I might just go back to that since different brands use different mm sizes. Saves on confusion no?
