About Me

 Of course, this is only about knitterly things.

I am aware that there a are quite a few contriversal issues in knitting that provoke much arguement. I’d love to say I don’t take sides, but frankly, I do. So, here are my opinions:

On Crocheting:
Vastly, vastly. inferior to knitting. No compitition. My reasons are good, and of course I’m not biased or anything *plays innocent*:

-It takes three times as much yarn

-The texture of crocheted fabric is unpleasent to me. (Of course it is, I’m a knitter.)

-Knitting is awesome. In it’s awesomeness, it’s juts so… awesome, that in comparison, crocheting is… um… less awesome (I’m losing ground here… )

I like crochet now! Wooo!
On Circular vs. Straight Needles

Circulars, but I personally prefir knitting really large quantities of stitches in the round on double-pointed needles. It makes me feel like I’m actually getting somewhere fast as I finish each needle.

Synthetic vs. Natural Fibers

I like some synthetics, (microfiber is cool, and ribbon yarn and the occasional furry or fuzzy yarn never hurt anyone) but I like natural fibers much more (who doesn’t?). Wool, alpaca, cotton, and linen are a few of my favorites. I’ve never knit with angora, but I’ve been anxious to try it for some time. Just that fact that it comes off a shaggy bunny is immensly appealing to me.

Continental vs. English Knitting

I’m a Continental gal myself. Though sometimes when I’m knitting, I throw the yarn instead of picking it for no reason in particular.

Yarn Weights

I like fingering, worsted, and chunky weights.
