Namely lines where the letter shifts from a vertical to horizontal (or vice versae) line a few stitches over, within the same colour block. I think it could be remedied with starting ltos of itty-bitty yarn ends, but I am not ready for that. For now I shall concede and stick to duplicate stitch. Maybe I'll try again.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704656125516407892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541279.post-1158633958727424872006-09-18T19:45:00.000-07:002006-09-18T19:45:00.000-07:00I LOVED reading these!

(yeah, right)<BR/><BR/>Michael, I think intarsia would be great for the cloths, probably better than fair isle for this project. I thought about doing intarsia but it was faster and easier for me to duplicate stitch. Honestly, they would look better if the colors were knit in, instead of stitched on. I think fair isle would be challenging to make a useful washcloth with, considering all the floats on the backside. I look forward to seeing if you do it!Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333637412849896461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541279.post-1158611043125810152006-09-18T13:24:00.000-07:002006-09-18T13:24:00.000-07:001.

I am considering learning a new skill, and was wondering if you know of any glaring difficulties adapting it to that.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704656125516407892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541279.post-1158366217026882592006-09-15T17:23:00.000-07:002006-09-15T17:23:00.000-07:001) No one can bother me during any of the followin...1) No one can bother me during any of the following tv shows: Law and Order (all 3 of them), the McLoughlin Group (gawd i love that show!),AND the Shield.<BR/>3) I am on Weight Watchers and go to meetings at 7am Saturday mornings...religiously!!<BR/>4)Sometimes I wish that I was a hippie 1970's homesteader...or a Scottish detective...I can never decide...<BR/>5)I have never tasted a beer that wasnt a Guinness or microbrew. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Hmmmm...gurlpurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14006573895648338143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541279.post-1158362080774054772006-09-15T16:14:00.000-07:002006-09-15T16:14:00.000-07:001.

You can knit in 3 or four colors Continental if you want and the Norwegian purl solves the whole purling thing beeyewtifully!Wendy Stackhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11662889669104869797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541279.post-1158334695587237262006-09-15T08:38:00.000-07:002006-09-15T08:38:00.000-07:00I like MSW, too.I lie to most people about my size...I like MSW, too.<BR/><BR/>I lie to most people about my size.

I don't lie about my size, but I also have no idea what it is :) I don't buy enough clothes often enough to remember<BR/>3. I try to watch somesort of evening news, but quite often, my news comes from The Howard Stern show and Sirius OutQ News (can you tell I love my Sirius satalite?)<BR/>4. I have absolutely NO idea what the heck you knitters are talking about when you start throwing out continental/english :) Maybe someday I'll actually "get" it<BR/>Don't be embarrassed!
