Now I'm a camel...

I guess I'm getting older and more set in my ways...
Camel – Consistent and inflexible
“Camel has very little elasticity, and it doesn’t felt easily. The fiber also doesn’t bleach easily, so you’ll normally find it used in yarns whose color either masks or enhances the natural tan shade of the camel fiber.” –The Knitter’s Book of Yarn

Camels are frank and straightforward in their manner. You know what you want and, while you are extremely polite and tactful, you have no difficulty being firm and definite. You are not very flexible or adaptable; you like things to be a certain way.  

 

Amblings

I've been wandering around and found a few sites that look good.  I'll try to compile them today here.

The first is for learning to finesse your knitting.  All those little technical details that you want to know before you start your next project.  TECHknitting.

I also like WendyKnits for her patterns and instructions.

For finishing a large project that starts off as 12 small projects.  You can knit Scarves to Throw at Jimmy Beans.

I like lemons... and I like her free patterns, too.

The Knit Kit

Oh. MY. Goodness!!!  I squealed when I saw this.  I must have one.  Why, oh why, must I wait until March?!  I'm slightly heartbroken... but, I'll get over it.  My oldest asked if that's what I want for Mother's Day.  

Uh,... YEAH!

Look.  Look.  It's the Swiss Army knife for knitters.  It's available for pre-order here.

~a sigh of relief~

It went pretty well.  Left no scars.  Caused to tantrums or headaches, even.  Several students were knitting when we left and that's what makes us happy!  I'm looking forward to next week.
