Wordle: we were scattered about today. Mark scored two, as he not infrequently does. Roger needed five. Most of the British scored four, including me. Theo and Alexander were the threes.
And on top of that, Theo and his family aren’t on the way after all. He has COVID. They weren’t planning to celebrate until Saturday which perhaps leaves a little time to cancel the turkey and freeze the cranberries. But it’s sad. Thank you for the pointer to Serious Eats, Mary Lou. (comment yesterday). Does anyone have an opinion on either of Kenji Lopez-Alt's books? The Food Lab and The Wok? Even if you don’t knit toys, your reaction to the adorable knitteds shown above can’t be the same as your reaction to a line-up of knitted garments. These cuddlies have nothing to do with knitted wearables or fashion, they belong in the storybook, fairytale enchantment of the imagination. They exist as amusing three-dimensional characters in their own right. So, a knitter chooses one of my doll patterns because the smiley face and rosy cheeks appeal to her emotions. Wafa is gone. Michelle is here. It’s all more than slightly scary, when you’re as helpless as I now am. But Michelle seems very nice, and all is well. And anyway I think Helen will be around this evening.It’s a dangerous topic, all right, and I don't want to hurt feelings and provoke anger here. Northern Irish politics are all the more dangerous. I
Perdita has begun to notice Wafa’s absence and is worried (as am I) that I won’t be up to feeding her. As you would with any scrumbled freeform design, start by working two or three little motifs, then join them together to make a shape that more than covers the hole in your jeans. Sew the finished work into place. Of course you can follow my example and chain-stitch around the area first, but I’m really not sure I’d recommend that. where I am in the pattern repeat. Never mind a podcast – I mustn’t let my quiet thoughts wander. It’s an easy pattern, as I’ve said. The main manoeuvre is and Alexander was summoned. He came cheerfully, and it was grand to see him. I survived Monday night on my own, and he Still not convinced? Then take a look at the extracts from my fan mail to see what knitters themselves have to say about my designs.

Again, I inadvertently typed in a Jean-word, omitting one of the browns. It proved very useful, giving me a new consonant both green and Wordle: fours predominate today, but Rachel did it in three, and Theo needed five. At least I finished dear May without Unlike knitted garments, the doll’s photograph gives hardly any clues as to how the end-result will be achieved, because the various shapings are hidden in the three-dimensional construction. The knitter therefore Another May day. I sat out on the step again. Saturday foot traffic is different from a weekday, and more abundant. No professional dog=walkers. I often see knitting blogs where people complain about having to weave in tail-ends of yarn when making up garments. With dolls and toys the tail-ends don’t need to be woven in, they can be used for sewing the seams. Simply leave tail-ends about 30cm [12in] in length for small items, longer ends for larger items. After sewing the seams, work a couple of oversewing stitches and snip off the yarn leaving a short tail-end. Unlike knitted garments, no-one will ever see the inside of the knitted pieces in a doll or toy!
Note on Substituting Yarn: “Although denim yarn best imitates the look of real blue jeans and makes people laugh with delight, you can substitute any DK-weight yarn with no difficulty. The only adjustment you need to make is the to the length of the legs. The pattern has you knit the legs to a specific measurement, for example, 10” (25.5cm) for the 12-18 month size. If you are using a yarn other than denim, you should subtract 15 percent, in this case 1.5” (4cm), from the length. You need not modify any measurements other than leg length. Confession: If it were me doing the knitting, I would not alter the measurements at all, but simply let the baby grow into the slightly longer pants. If there is one thing that we can count on babies to do, it’s to grow. But remember, if you use another yarn, ignore our washing instructions, and follow the care instructions for your yarn. If you wash any other cotton yarn in a hot wash, it is likely to shrink just like denim. If you wash wool pants in hot water, you’ll get an adorable pair of hamster pants.”The yarn is beautiful, I still love the pattern, but a first horrified glance-over made me wonder whether I was capable of it. It’s top-down, and begins with some slightly fancy yoke shaping. I’ll feel braver in the morning. Use a thin yarn and a crochet hook. *whispers:* When things get difficult, you can abandon your crochet hook and embroider with a tapestry needle. But please don’t tell anyone I said that. I still have a little bit of sweater cuff to knit. I am what EZ classified as a “blind follower” if ever there was one, and find it slightly unnerving not to know how much cuff I am aiming at. Carry on until it looks about right, and do that much again for the other sleeve. Those four copies of Knitter’s from 2000 which I can’t find translated it all into a simple raglan sweater. knitting toothpaste, mushrooms, a camp fire, a desert island, ice-cream sundae or a Scottish bagpipe! My nephew Theo and his family are coming to celebrate Thanksgiving with his English cousins in London. Theo is organising it all from afar.
