b r o o k l y n t w e e d: Other Ways of Feeling Productive

I have to laugh at the knitting with aluminum broomsticks comment. I think I need some super bulky therapy myself!
(also, thanks for the wonderful workshop in Pittsburgh!)

Of course Knitting is awesome, that's why we(I) do it!! I admire your knitting very much.

What a great woolie knit, love the colour too.

# posted by Renee : 13 November, 2008 10:22

So, how many skeins are you using for this considering there are only 83 yards each. Love the colour also. =)

super-D-duper chunky yarn is wonderful as a blanket! and i have to agree it doesn't look so well as a sweater (on me at least). i like your blanket in progress it's beautiful.

Oh, man, I love that you just used the term "dropped" about a knitting publication. I'm so doing that from now on!!

The blanket is looking gorgeous!

I had the same response to that blanket by Classic Elite - and inspire by your EZ blanket, went out and got some chunky wool. (Couldn't find super chunky, so I'm using two strands of chunky together.)

I started the blanket. Stopped. Swatched it in regular sized wool/needles. Stopped. Poked at it and realized that the part I liked best was the garter stitch section. It was so soft and squshy! The lace part felt hard and lifeless. (Yes, hard, even on size 19s.) There was no bounce or life to the wool.

I've taken that wool and am making an EZ inspired "colors chasing each other around corners" garter stitch blanket. It's incredibly soft and bouncy. And, once I stop tearing out everything I do (Hmmm - no, I want the stitches to run THIS way. An angle HERE? Or THERE???) It's going to be incredibly fast!

I recognize that cocoon! I just finished spinning two Crosspatch batts and really enjoyed it - definitely a unique experience. I found their spinning directions very helpful, too.

knitting IS indeed awesome!

I look forward to seeing what you spin with your cocoon. I have something somewhat similar, and I'm not sure what to do with it-- comb it, spin it as is, hm...

Oh my gosh, now I have to make that blanket. Whoops... I just called the yarn shop!

that will be a lovely quick project. and...a very fast christmas gift to knit. ;)

thanks for sharing.

chunky blanket knitting is one of those totally justifiable winter projects, because it means the electric heat can go down as the needles clack! this looks so warm and lovely!

I love the way Wenlan blows up patterns and they look totally new. Never thought of doing it to a blanket. WOWIE. Must. Do. This.

# posted by Kay : 13 November, 2008 14:25

Yes, knitting is indeed awesome! I can't really do the super bulky thing (I have a top that is still waiting for me to rip it out and rejigger the pattern for the gauge I would rather be knitting at).

Though a super bulky blanket wouldn't be nearly so bad as a super bulky top.

I don't know what I would do without my knitting. I would expire. I glanced at this throw, when I received my newsletter, passed it by, and then, of course, you inspire me to go and have another look! You always inspire us.

# posted by Poethead : 13 November, 2008 17:58

This is so beautiful! I love the softness of the wool.

Knitting is Awesome... yes it is!!!

You are awesome! Your posts are very enjoyable and funny. I always look forward to reading them. I wish I would have been able to see you in GR last weekend.

# posted by bitsy : 13 November, 2008 22:13

Love the comment about it looking like a swatch on steroids!

# posted by Jane : 13 November, 2008 23:34

Beautiful blankie! Funnily enough while browsing through a magazine at the hairdressers last night the home decorating page had a very chunky rib knit throw priced at £135!! Yours is much nicer! Loved the swatch on steroids analogy!

i cannot get over all the meanings of bat in english. i was expecting to see knitted bats as in the animal before i scrolled down and saw the spinning bats.

# posted by knititch : 14 November, 2008 10:48

Those cocoon batts look gorgeous--can't wait to see how they spin up!

# posted by Cara : 14 November, 2008 11:08

That blanket looks so incredibly cozy and yummy!

I can't wait to see the gorgeous yarn that will surely come from that astonishing bat.

# posted by nicole : 14 November, 2008 12:05

Oooh, they kind of look like owl pellets. Which is a little gross maybe, though I always enjoyed dissecting them when I was little...

# posted by Alex : 15 November, 2008 00:48

I think presents is right - they do look like owl pellets. That would have to be some owl to be eating Romneys and Corriedales!

# posted by Anonymous : 16 November, 2008 09:19

I think I would fall asleep instantly underneath that blanket! yum!

# posted by CassieMarie : 16 November, 2008 23:43

Swatch on steroids - LOL! Looks awesome.

# posted by Chris Tolomei (alicethelma) : 17 November, 2008 14:06

Oh wow! I love your work!! =)

# posted by Lauren : 18 November, 2008 04:17

Mm.. I've never seen a blog that could capture texture so well as yours. Very satisfying.

Also, I'm glad I can see someone knit this blanket. I would have liked to, but couldn't fit it into my schedule (or budget, for that matter). I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out for you. Gorgeous, I'm sure.

# posted by Anonymous : 19 November, 2008 14:14

I'm absolutely floored by your knitting. It is down to earth, practical--and beautiful! And the photos, well don't get me started! Congratulations on a beautiful blog.

For any of you out there who haven't yet picked up Magical Starsign, what are you waiting for? I'll admit that I'm still a bit miffed over the US not getting the first Magical Vacation game on the Gameboy Advance, maple story mesosbut I guess I can forgive and forget since we did at least get the sequel in Magical Starsign. On the other hand, playing Magical Starsign and seeing how fantastic it is just makes me now want Magical Vacation even more. dofus kamasSo there, now I'm mad again. Seriously, if you're looking for an outstanding old-school RPG experience with one of the coolest art styles ever seen in an RPG, check out Magical Starsign. It's everything a great RPG should be. The only gripe I have is that the experience ended too quickly. So now I either want Magical Vacation for the Gameboy Advance, or another sequel. One or the other! NOW!

Since we're rapidly approaching the four year anniversary of the Sony PSP system's release in Japan on December 12, 2004, I thought it would be a good time to take a look back at the system and its rise to popularity over the past three years. wow goldThere's certainly no denying that Nintendo's DS system has been quite a bit more popular than the Sony PSP, but you have to give the PSP some credit.wow power levelIt's been widely competitive in a portable gaming market that's been absolutely dominated by Nintendo over the past two decades. No other company, not even Sega and their Game Gear system, have been able to break into the portable market with quite the success Sony has already enjoyed. world of warcraft goldI can also honestly say that no other game system ever released has gotten me quite as excited as the Sony PSP did before it was released.buy wow goldMaybe we need to start out with a look back at when I first got my PSP system and what I had to go through to do so.

Now here we are four years later and I still love this sleek little game system as much as ever. It seems like only yesterday I was spending almost every night posting on the GameFaqs PSP Hardware board anxiously awaiting the PSP system's release date to arrive. I met a lot of great gamers and we had some great discussions, cheap dofus kamas buy dofus kamas kamas dofus dofus des kamas dofus buy dofus guide dofus gold cheap dofusat least until the board became a haven for PSP emulation and lost the magic it had back before the launch of the PSP system.
