panad May 2016 7:52pm, 20 May 2016 756 posts	0 panad Decided to try and find my mojo by casting on a hitofude...then in middle of the night when sleep wasn't happening I thought it'd be a really good idea to knit it to wear to a wedding in two weeks time.... I found some yarn that gave me correct gauge in my stash so I'm going for it! 11 repeats into the first section at the moment, and enjoying it so far
icemaiden May 2016 9:09pm, 20 May 2016 4,628 posts	0 icemaiden I am going on holiday to Germany in the summer. If I take sock knitting should I use two short dpns or one long one magic loop style (I haven't tried this yet). What should I bring home from the wool shops?
EvilPixie May 2016 2:33pm, 21 May 2016 11,470 posts	0 EvilPixie v-rap did you find that pattern? being tempted by some hand dyed yarn and wondering if the cost of the yarn would be too much! In other news I found myself looking at sewing machines this morning. This scares me a lot as I haven't seen one for 30+ years. I blame you lot for showing off amazing things

Velociraptor May 2016 4:29pm, 21 May 2016 33,807 posts	0 Velociraptor Munich. So you'll pass close by.
