It's the design and getting the interesting bits to look right that takes the soul of an artist, IMHO.<BR/>Take care and BTW I love your more recent posts - all too true.<BR/>Your happy "hostage" (just kidding)<BR/>JoanFuguesStateKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271842690827237203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-32491432750024138922007-05-14T14:24:00.000+01:002007-05-14T14:24:00.000+01:00Hi Colin - I enjoy your blog and reading through i...Hi Colin - I enjoy your blog and reading through it. I read with interest the machine knitters vs. the hand knitters. What is it with folks to want to create an "us vs. them" environment? Dunno?! My two kids are deaf. they have done very, very well in school (they are in a public school, mainstreamed) and yet I still get "oh, you don't sign with them". *sigh* No... the signers vs. the oralists can be pretty ugly - I try very hard to not "go there". I am sorry they were not welcomed...<BR/><BR/>I really like how the Hummer sock turned out but you're right - it doesn't look anything like the picture. You do good work!<BR/><BR/>Barbara in NHBarbaraMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241406112660370869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-37664904632368531482007-05-14T06:07:00.000+01:002007-05-14T06:07:00.000+01:00Well done that man!

When I want an easier time of it, I hand knit, though it takes longer. I'm less apt to make mistakes. Machine knitting is more of a challenge and takes more thinking through.<BR/><BR/>As for your poo post, I share your pain.<BR/>J.Woods, Western North CarolinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-66592867986172966902007-05-13T19:39:00.000+01:002007-05-13T19:39:00.000+01:00BRAVO!
