Today's denim baby jeans report

We have had so many reports on this board about both of those being either very difficult to knit with, or (particularly the chenille) about the yarn coming apart while working with it. Please just buy one skein of each and knit a sizeable swatch before you invest in enough to make a poncho or shawl. Oh, great! Thank you! (How are you feeling?) I'm not sure I can get those yarns anyway. It's the style I like so, knowing me, I'll end up picking up something locally then buy to much of it and drive myself nuts for a while but be happy enough when it's finished. (It's a patter, what can I say?) ;-)) Thanks for the heads-up, though. Don't want to fight with yarn. I'd lose. Actually, I'd choose the Homespun knit on larger needles (like 11s, even 10.5s) over the chenille any day. Despite what the label and patterns recommend, homespun behaves better with the bigger needles. Or look at stitch dictionaries for a "loop stitch" pattern - you can get a big boucle effect with a plain yarn. =Tamar Thanks. I'll keep a look-out for that. Murielle |

Dyed my needles pink (it was burgundy and I was using plastic needles.) Alison Did the dye end up staining your neck too then? *hugs* Gemini No thank goodness! Alison |
