Ok, as a physics major from another seven sister school (Mount Holyoke) I am wicked jealous of the swiss army knife! I have to go talk to the alumnae assocation about that one… ;-)

Yay Bryn Mawr! I’m a Mawrtyr too, but not a physicist, alas — the one behind the flowery query on flickr. Your pocket knife drew me out of my lurking ways.

I am so so glad to see someone else making this skirt! I started it a while ago and similarly “jiggered” the pattern to do all of the pieces together. I’m anxious to read what you did. I remember having to make an adjustment after the “seam.” Mine is currently in repose, shall we say, due to my urgent need to cast on something else with that size needle, so for now I will live vicariously through you.

PS My LYS owner says she’s seen one in person, but I have not, and found you through googling the skirt!

“For reals this time” :) Love that!
I really like the skirt. That will look great on you. Maybe you will have it done by the time I visit in a few weeks?
I have never tried the splicing. Maybe you can teach me…

Have a good weekend, girl!!

Oh, weee little Anastasia socks…so cool.
I just spit spliced for the first time on my Sunrise Circle, and I have to say I was a bit scared to do it b/c I was so afraid it would fall apart. I made sure to tug on each one a bit just to make sure. Now it is my new friend. Although it didn’t work that one time that I tried it on superwash sock yarn…Hmmm, I felt a bit silly when it hit me after a few times of trying.

Am I just stupid because I have no idea what you mean by “knit each consecutive panel in a nonconsecutive piece”? I’m just going to chalk it up to not having read the pattern. But, yay spit splicing! One of my favorite knitting tricks!

I want to get brave about pattern mods like you. No, wait, I take that back, because I have been brave about pattern mods before and it’s always come back to bite me in the ass. So let me restate: I want to get brave and smart about pattern mods like you. Maybe someday if I work hard.

It was nice meeting you at the sit n’ knit. The special guest was so cute it was hard to concentrate on knitting.

By the way, I checked out your anastasia socks and can’t wait to make them. They are georgeous. But I must start with something simple first.

Till next time.

Are you a Mawrtyr?? Wow, I almost feel like I should ‘anas’ but I never have started one in public…
