Think I’d better do that before it gets gifted for Christmas!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566841917930036143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411879331385354112.post-62823257614593107242017-11-17T19:52:47.679-08:002017-11-17T19:52:47.679-08:00That's great, Sarah.

Once you feel comfortable with the knitted-on edging, will you go back and try again with the provisional technique? <br /><br />I love smaller projects for learning - you can revisit something familiar repeatedly and try out different techniques and methods on something familiar and compare the effects.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411879331385354112.post-66423674387544519702017-07-29T06:27:29.937-07:002017-07-29T06:27:29.937-07:00I am finding patterns I didn't think I'd k...I am finding patterns I didn't think I'd knit, which is like rediscovering lots of patterns in my library. Searching by a new technique brings up things I didn't even know I had! I agree, it's likely skills and change in taste. I often look at a magazine with one or two ideas in mind, so revisiting it with a new focus makes the pattern collection feel new again!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566841917930036143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411879331385354112.post-20382614088834696772017-07-29T01:06:59.182-07:002017-07-29T01:06:59.182-07:00When you search back through your patterns, do you...When you search back through your patterns, do you ever discover patterns that didn't appeal at first sight but as the years go by, you come back to them and suddenly see new things that make them attractive now? I don't know whether it is the development of our skills or just changing tastes over time. <br /><br />If we were to knit and crochet all the patterns that we have at least once, do you think it would keep us occupied for years? When I think about my pattern library in that way, I realise that there is no real need for me to buy any more patterns to have fun with crochet.<br /><br />I commend you for your resourcefulness.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.com
