I'm feeling rotten tonight...tired, upset tummy etc. Hope it will get better by morning or I'll have to miss knitting . Will keep you posted. Just a reminder that we will be late anyway since Olivia has swimming until 9:30am then I have to wait for my mom to get home so I can have the car. Where's the best place to park Alison? I normally would walk but with the 6 year old it is hard to walk 50 minutes one way with no complaints!!! Must look at one of those standing boards for the back of my soon to come NEW stroller!!

I have a pounding headache, I think I need to stop knitting for the night and sleep a bit or I'll be dozing off during knitting tomorrow! Just one more row...

Vanessa, if you come park in the driveway. To the left of the house, which is sixty thirty South Street, although I think you have actually been here before! I can fit two cars in the driveway if the first one pulls in far enough.

I had so much fun knitting today! And the fact that my dish cloth is actually *looking* like a dish cloth is amazing! Thanks again guys!

I worked on it on the bus, and dh and I just came back from the beach where he swam and I sat knitting (and Rayne watched!). I am working on the k2tog thing and I think I have it...we'll see if it turns out but it seems to be taking shape. I might actual have my first completed project today! Yea!

Tamara, as long as you put the needle through the 2nd stitch on your left hand needle and then through the 1st stitch, then knit them, you should be doing fine!

Anytime anyone gets stuck on something, there are wonderful videos at www.knittinghelp.com to demonstrate things.

So let's say hypothetically that I have been putting the needle through the first and then the second stitch on the left (then knitting together), what would this do?

Then I think you would be (hypothetically of course!) purling 2 together, not knitting. I'm going to try it out to double check.

Okay....I tried it out. If you are knitting them the way you mentioned (hypotheically, of course) and doing it by putting the right hand needle into the front of the 2 stitches...then you are purling. If, on the other hand you are putting the right hand needle into the BACK of the 2 stitches, then you would still be knitting.

Does that help at all?

As long as your needle goes in from front to back, then you'd be knitting them but you'd be knitting through the back, and that would twist the stitch the other way. It would still be knitting though, just twisted, and would therefore just slant the other way than knitting two together the regular way. Probably won't even be noticeable when you're done. It's called k2tog tbl (knit two together through back loops). Hypothetically, it doesn't matter at all in a dishcloth! Would be more noticeable in a sweater or in a sock, where you want you decreases to slant a certain way.

I'M THE CAST ON QUEEN!!! I worked really hard when I had a chance later tonight casting on and suddenly it just clicked! I was soooo excited!! What took me almost 1.5 hours today I did in 5 minutes tonight!! Love the "Stich and Bitch" book! I attempted the Continental Knitting method and am not sure if I am on the right track or not. I unravelled everything a bunch of times just to practice. I will continue to practice and maybe that will click too. Thanks for being so patient with me today I'm so excited to have learnt something new. YEAH!! Forget the 4 cover letters I have to type out tonight...I'm knitting!!!

That book is great, isn't it? Baby Bonus comes in on Friday and I am totally buying my own copy, I miss it already! I got the Complete Idiots Guide from the library and I am just not loving it the way I love the SnB book. And you're right, once it clicks you'll be knittin like a champ!

a hah, it's all going to plan. soon you will be kniting a gorgeous sweater for dan, and your children will be sporting fabulous creations (my favourite kid hat is a no pattern four or five needle one that ends up baing a tri- or quad- corn. you can even add bells or tassles [depending on if you want to hear them coming :LOL ])....the world is ours!!!!!!!

ok, i'm wondering about dates for our housewarming. i thought trevor would be home for more of september, but he won't. so, i'm trying to figure out a good day. either september 3, or october 8 or 15. i was hoping to have camping as well, but there's always the whole house to crash in, if need be. so, seeing as everyone here is probably 90% of the people i know, what's the best date?
