LadyAnubis Peppermint Elf LadyAnubis That's the problem though. Backwoods dial up+tons of gaia graphics=crashed computer. And that's not an exageration. I can try it, but I'm going to have to download a different browser. I'm learning that internet explorer doesn't like gaia at all, at least on my computer. i have firefox and IE both, and firefox seems to run gaia much cleaner and quicker than IE does.

maybe to get this going better, we should make a whole new thread and say "this is the pattern we'll use but if you want to freestyle, go for it" blah blah blah, add in what a knitalong is and then declare that the thread for pictures, talk, etc. about the knitalong. maybe post the dice bag link and then also copy/paste her instructions in (i know lauren, i seriously doubt she'll care as long as we credit her) and then set a starting date: maybe the first of june? that gives everyone a little time to get stuff and ask preliminary questions, don't you think?

ya I guess I'll just do that then.
I seam to like the larger needles and larger yarn than smaller... granted I want every thing to be tight... but I could not imagen making something big out of size 5's or something like that.
I seam to use my 9's for most of my stuff.

I think I like either my 8s or 10s, depending on the yarn and project.

I would love to make socks some day... but at the same time I don't want to cuz of the tiny needles.
I think I would be good with making some thing like slippers with biger yarn.

The smallest knitting I've done is for the House Bookscarves on size 0's. I didn't much like making them on size 0's because it felt like if I twitched wrong, I'd snap the needles. sweatdrop I still make bookscarves from time to time, but I do them on size 1's (which is a bit sturdier). They knit up pretty quickly. heart
