Brrrr
So while the cold weather took its own sweet time getting here, now that it’s here it seems to want to stay a while. I’m fighting back in traditional knitter fashion. Wool. Both in the form of socks, and on the needles as a talisman against snow.
Some day we knitters will learn casting on a new project isn’t the best response to being cold, but today is not that day
I beg to differ: casting on for a new project does not beat the cold, but it sure beats the blues that seem to accompany it. Works for me anyway, and I should probably cast on right away because today is the coldest day of the year here in Montreal. Stay warm!
It’s good knitting therapy casting on to keep the winter gloom away with some warm yarn in a cheery colour.
Are you casting on over 2 needles together? If so, why?
I am. I know it’s not what everyone does, but I find my first row of stitches is wobbly if I don’t. And yes, I have read the stuff saying ‘ack, it’s wrong, it helps nothing, don’t do it!’ But I’ve tried it both ways and I find this works better for me, so I go ahead and do it!
