But the <i>5-row sequence: knit rows 1-3; row 4, k2, wrap yard 3 times around right needle*, repeat to end of row; row 5, knit all, dropping the wrapped yarn</i> is why I don't knit. I've tried knitting, and I mostly drop the yarn off the needles. <br /><br />I figure for the price of the aggravation to me - it's cheaper to go to the store and buy a scarf. But I'm sure you get much more satisfaction out of creating your own scarf. Good for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137809872238752435.post-32254644037869670712009-10-06T08:37:28.947-04:002009-10-06T08:37:28.947-04:00I nearly always use acrylic for crochet, but I fin...I nearly always use acrylic for crochet, but I find it unpleasant for knitting. Not sure why -- it just feels weird on the needles.<br /><br />And hey, go you with all the knitting! I am kind of addicted to the double-point needles now that I've figured them out. I still haven't finished the girl child's socks, though -- I keep getting distracted with other stuff!Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08612452005428621885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137809872238752435.post-20194594290045688582009-10-05T13:49:24.701-04:002009-10-05T13:49:24.701-04:00Lou - knitting machines to a knitter?
