Sounds like not fun at all although I sense a pretty blue thing going on in your projects. Reading the comment above mine maybe the yarn is splitting because it needs to be drawn from the other end--that is if you are knitting from the strand from inside ball switch to strand that ends outside of ball or vice versa. I understand you do not want to start again but maybe you can try on different needles from other end and see if it helps before you spend hours and hours tearing your hair out?<br />Elkahttp://www.elkaknits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-20578087114223013252016-07-18T15:01:50.733-05:002016-07-18T15:01:50.733-05:00I was going to tell you how much I liked working w...I was going to tell you how much I liked working with the phildar folk but then I read your comment about it being splitty.

I have totally fallen in love with the colours on your Frida basket. I spotted a Frida Kahlo blanket pattern on Pinterest the other day and that will be a definate on next year's list :) Running out of wool is my bugbear, so frustrating when you want to get on. Your crochet square blanket looks brilliant. Looking forward to seeing how your socks turn out.

I'm pretty sure you will tackle sewing and backing those projects with great ease, sometimes the thinking of them can be the most daunting and I can't wait to see them all backed. As for the socks, it could very well be the yarn and or the needles, specially if you were doing fine with other needles and yarn. I've not used either so I can't say. I do know I've heard some say the Karbonz is a far more grippier needle which might not be helping the yarn if it has a tendancy to split, perhaps try the yarn on your addis and see, that way you can rule either the yarn or the needles out and go from there.

Oh, I tinker with gardening and weeding, but not having mowed the grass in over 20 years I'm thinking I'm in for a rude awakening when youngest moves out in another couple years or so. I hope the time with your company is fun and productive. Are you going to show us pictures of the work that will be done? I love how you bring us into your life, Sam!
