You learn something new everyday. My sister, a recent knitting recruit, attended a knit-in to make pink scarves for breast cancer. Here’s her story:
"I almost forgot to tell you about these two ladies who came to that knitting pink scarfs for cancer night my friend put on. They were knitting with their hands and no needles! Have you ever seen this? I will have to take a picture of Ana doing it because it is really interesting but really rather strange! I said to the other people after the two ladies left that I think they were from another planet and they actually knit with their toes and to fit into earth mode they switched it to their hands! Must see it to believe it!"
I presume they were finger knitting. Before researching it I had this image of two pointer fingers acting as knitting needles. I think I could get desperate enough to do that if I found myself in needleless circumstances.
Herringbone rib scarf update: Since Sandy’s post of November 26th, I have sent out over 50 patterns. Someone so kindly noted that she’s seen the scarf all over blogland. I proudly told this to my son and sighed, "That’s where I want to live someday – Blogland." He reminded me that I’m already there.
North Shore knitters, here’s an update on Urban Yarn’s Edgemont location. It’s on Highland Blvd. in the former equestrian shop and will open on December 13th.
