Catching up on old episodes,
and I had to stop an comment on the travel knitting question. Lately, traveling
for work is my best time for knitting and crocheting, as long as I’m not
driving. I’ve been flying about 3 times a month, and my next project will
involve a 5-hr driving trip about twice a month. Initially, I will be a
passenger, though eventually, I will go without my boss and have to drive.
A few factors that I
take into consideration:
- How much other stuff do I have to
carry, especially for flying? If I have a bag of finish samples or a big
roll of drawings, then I only bring socks or a hat. But if my purse isn’t
that full, I’m happy to bring a sweater.
- What do I really WANT to work on right
now? I’ve put a small project in my bag that I wasn’t excited about in my
purse, and found myself reading or playing solitaire instead of knitting.
Also, if I really want to work on that larger project, I won’t mind
carrying it, in order to get to work on it.
- Is it a long enough trip that it is
worth bringing options? If I had a 28 hour round trip car ride, I would
definitely bring several options and possibly items in different weights
of yarn to give my hands a break.
- I do prefer to avoid charts, but if it
is something that I REALLY want to make, I will try it. Colorwork charts
are easier for travel than lace, IME.
- Lastly,
the project needs to be started BEFORE I leave. Unless I am swatching
while I travel, I want the project to already be started, so I don’t have
to be counting the cast on, acquainting myself with the pattern, or doing
any critical measuring.

Your gloves turned out
great, Paula! I made a pair years ago and had a hard time with the gaps at the
base of the fingers and the overall fit. I’d like to give them another try. I
was interested to hear that you used Chickadee. I’ve always thought gloves
needed to be done in fingering weight to get a close fit and reduce the bulk
between the fingers. How do you feel about your choice to go with sport weight?
(Paula) I think the yarn weight might have been holding me back too,
Ellen. I like the Quince Chickadee which is sport weight and feel it is a good
weight for warmth without being too bulky. Chickadee is a round yarn with good
stitch definition which I believe will help the gloves wear well. And if I wear
a hole in a finger, I can just cut it off and quickly knit a new one—much
easier than repairing mittens.
About those gaps at base of fingers…I picked up extra
stitches to fill in. You also have at least one end to weave in so you can
close up gaps during finishing as well. I have a YouTube tutorial on this
trick.

There is a GLOVES, GLOVES,
GLOVES! group and they have a information page dealing with this very
common issue! Lots of good resources in this group.
From Patched Pastor
who is Lauren in Arkansas
When knitting flat
with circular needles, until a week or so ago I would have said I always
have the 2 needle tips attached to one cable. But then I pulled a rather large
blanket knitted in one piece out of the UFO bin with the idea of finishing it
off, and after an hour of knitting I had to put it down because my wrists were
really hurting. I analyzed the situation for a day and realized I was
struggling to move half a pound of yarn around the entire circle of the needle
every row. Further thought suggested that if I put the 2nd tip on a 2nd cable I
could have the bulk of the blanket sit comfortably on the sofa next to me and
only move the parts that were completely necessary. I also had more room to
move stitches as part of the time they were divided between the 2 cables. I
tried that and have been able to knit pain-free for longer periods of time. So
there are times when 2 cables are helpful, even if not strictly necessary for
knitting flat on circular needles.
I’ve only knit one
pair of gloves as here in Arkansas it’s rarely cold enough for gloves and
getting the finger lengths right for gift gloves is a bit tricky. I did knit
one pair several years ago and found it fiddly but not impossible. I think if I
were to do them again I would use Lucy Neatby’s double knitting technique on
the fingers; there might be a slight ridge at the sides but it would be worth
it to only be working on 2 needles instead of 4. And now that I’ve been
thinking about gloves I’m remembering that I had set aside the remaining yarn
from the first pair to knit a second pair; I wonder where that yarn is. Hmmmmm.

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
