I hope there is a knitting meetup this month. Orange County seems a bit lame on the ‘getting together’ thing… Every time I inquire about some kind of get together, everyone begs off. And I know it’s not me, because even the first meeting gets blown off, so it can’t be my fault! I could understand it if someone actually met me and then didn’t want to come back, but hey!
I really want to meet some actual other real live knitters, so I can see if there is a better way to purl. I think I knit ECU, that’s with the yarn in the left hand, but not twisting stitches, right? Anyway, that’s what I do, and I end up with the yarn around my thumb when I purl and it gets tiring, unless I am purling a whole row or round, then I put the yarn around my neck like the Greek way and use whatever finger feels like moving to complete the stitches.
The only other knitter I know learned the same day as me so we both kinda don’t know exactly what we are doing, other than producing some nifty stuff.
