Thank you. I just could not stop trying out all sort of different patterns.

As it is coming from a great knitter I am very flattered by your comment!

I second that comment.

Me too Jerilyn.

Thank you. And as I did feel quite dizzy all day I am halfway a very simple one - although I might change that now that I am starting a round upper bit (I haven't a clue what that's called in English).
I've been looking at ideas for stash reduction. There's one I'll try after finishing this one.

Thank you!

You are right, first a birthday, then a request for 10 notebooks, then I forgot all about it. But last week I tried to clear out my sewing room an collected knit-UFOs, all of yarn, small, larger, thin, middle and thick. Made me feel a bit guilty.
Thank you.

Thank you.
They all have a rhythm of their own and once you get that it is a no-brainer. Nice when watching TV - the Olympics especiallt the speed skating will be watched, so I will knit.

Thank you. I always want to figure out how things are done, has got me into trouble at times, but generally I succeed. A sewing pattern is useful for general size and shape. I used to buy enough material, which lead to lots of odd balls and smaller leftovers. I sorted them on brand and type, so I know one needle size will do. Unfortunately I loved knitting on 2.5 or 3 mm needles which give great results but take a lot more time than 5 mm needles.

Thanks, Toogie. Not completely flawless, but the better you can correct those the better the result.

Thank you Lynne. It's not for my son but for that of my home help. Her husband is doing odd jobs. Both to proud to accept help easily, but knitting makes me an honorary grandma.
