I had been skipped on the train once, as you did, and I was happy to see you hopped back on and said that this happened rather than let it go by.<BR/><BR/>Laughed that you learned to knit during a long, cold VT winter. Oh how I know about THOSE winters, living in southern VT myself these days. It was back in '85, during the first time we lived in VT, that I truly learned to spin during one of those cold winters. <BR/><BR/>Congrats on your engagement and best of luck in finding the ring of your dreams for the best price.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397996365027453456.post-52868148730541408942008-04-09T21:29:00.000-04:002008-04-09T21:29:00.000-04:00Well, you know how I feel about Rav nowadays… me a...Well, you know how I feel about Rav nowadays… me and my queue and that's about it.<BR/><BR/>Hold out for the Sholdt. Though have you tried D.B. Bowles? He's done a lot of work for me (relatively speaking) and though I don't know if he can beat a price, he's trustworthy.kemteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996364094793223496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397996365027453456.post-12579119587400793472008-04-09T13:09:00.000-04:002008-04-09T13:09:00.000-04:00I haven't noticed the bad vibes on Ravelry, but I ...I haven't noticed the bad vibes on Ravelry, but I mostly stick to my small groups: cooking, biking, and others. <BR/>Jake's socks look fab. Have you tried decreasing the amount of stitches in the ribbing to help with a tighter fit? I don't know if that would work. Nylon sounds like a good idea too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397996365027453456.post-88060268703703343852008-04-09T11:44:00.000-04:002008-04-09T11:44:00.000-04:00The Socks look great, both his and yours.

Also, interesting pose you've got him in!<BR/><BR/>I noticed all the crap going on at Ravelry, too, and sort of attribute it to the fact that as the community gets larger things like this are bound to happen. Not everyone is a winner and personalities clash, etc. <BR/><BR/>Really, i just want the hours of my life back that I spent reading it all after I got sucked in.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538195878650099162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397996365027453456.post-85898337526991012052008-04-09T10:26:00.000-04:002008-04-09T10:26:00.000-04:00You can try my toe-up heel flap formula. http://f...You can try my toe-up heel flap formula. http://forwardmotion.typepad.com/becca/toe.html Looks to me like you are almost ready to start some gussets.<BR/><BR/>Jake's socks look great, but I think you're right about the elastic thread.
